When combined with increased ocean stratification due to this enhanced run off [11], sea - surface temperatures are depressed, encouraging sea - ice formation. (antarcticglaciers.org)
The added resilience of the biological pump allows the ocean to remain a strong sink of atmospheric CO2 despite warming and increasing upper ocean stratification.» (co2coalition.org)
A new study says that climate - induced feedback loops could lead to a change in ocean stratification and the more rapid melting of ice sheets. (sciencemag.org)
