COSEE Ocean Systems: News
Global Warming as Viewed from the Deep Ocean
Description: Global atmospheric temperatures have been stable, or even declined slightly, over the past decade. So, where did all the heat that humans are supposedly producing go? A new study shows that the ocean is now absorbing heat 15 times faster than it has over the previous 10,000 years. It places the recent warming of Pacific intermediate waters in a temporal context. The trend has now reversed in a big way and the deep ocean is warming. [Source: Rutgers University]
