as «Getting
Warmer.»

The fall of the temperature of the
sea water is sometimes a sign of the proximity of ice, although in regions where there is an intermixture of cold and
warm currents going on,
as at the junction of the Labrador Current and the Gulf Stream, the temperature of the
sea has been known to rise
as the ice is approached.
As the
warmer water expands, it causes
sea levels to rise.
Sustaining fresh
water and energy resources; mitigating the effects of natural hazards such
as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, severe weather, landslides, coastal erosion, and solar flares; and dealing with the consequences of global

Heat that stays at the surface will ultimately result in greater
sea - level rise
as warmer water expands more readily
as it heats up.
As sea waters in the South Atlantic
warm, the amount of krill available for seals drops, leading to a smaller yet more genetically varied population
Because
water expands
as it
warms, that heat also meant that
sea surface heights were record high, measuring about 2.75 inches higher than at the beginning of the satellite altimeter record in 1993.
The latest spike in
sea lion strandings began before the current El Niño pattern took hold, and before the large expanse of
warm water known
as «the blob» began dominating West Coast Waters in 2014.
The conclusion that limiting CO2 below 450 ppm will prevent
warming beyond two degrees C is based on a conservative definition of climate sensitivity that considers only the so - called fast feedbacks in the climate system, such
as changes in clouds,
water vapor and melting
sea ice.
The slipperiness, caused by films of
water spread over large areas, helps ascertain how quickly a melting ice sheet will slide into the
sea as the climate
warms — and thus how quickly
sea levels will rise.
Around 11,000 years ago,
as the last ice sheets retreated from Norway and the Norwegian
Sea, Atlantic
water flowed in and
warmed the bottom by about 9 degrees Fahrenheit.
Their habitat and food supply are shifting

The research published in the journal Science Advances predicts that
as the oceans
warm fish — which appear to be superior predators in
warm water — will extend their ranges away from the equator and cause a decline in the diversity of invertebrates such
as crabs, lobsters,
sea urchins and whelks.
As global warming affects the earth and ocean, the retreat of the sea ice means there won't be as much cold, dense water, generated through a process known as oceanic convection, created to flow south and feed the Gulf Strea

Totten Glacier, the largest glacier in East Antarctica, is being melted from below by
warm water that reaches the ice when winds over the ocean are strong — a cause for concern because the glacier holds more than 11 feet of
sea level rise and acts
as a plug that helps lock in the ice of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Global average
sea level has risen by roughly 0.11 inch (3 millimeters) per year since 1993 due to a combination of
water expanding
as it
warms and melting ice sheets.
As the atmosphere
warms, heat is transferred to the oceans, which causes
water expansion and rising
sea levels.
What's left to figure out is whether this is happening with other subglacial lakes around the Greenland ice sheet,
as well
as whether and how to incorporate the findings into models that are aimed at gauging how much Greenland might change with the
warming climate and how much
water it could add to the rising
seas.
«Cold, deep
water from this little area of the Nordic
seas, less than 1 % of the global ocean, travels the entire planet and returns
as warm surface
water.
As Hartmut Hellmer explains, «When it comes to the Amundsen
Sea, where
warm water has already reached the continental shelf and even the grounding line of some ice shelves, we can safely say that this inflow of heat can not be stopped; the climate regime change has already taken place.
In the summer of 2005
warm sea waters caused these reefs and others across the Caribbean to expel the algae that normally gives them their color and much of their food, leaving them white
as a skeleton and often starving — a process called bleaching.
As a result of atmospheric patterns that both warmed the air and reduced cloud cover as well as increased residual heat in newly exposed ocean waters, such melting helped open the fabled Northwest Passage for the first time [see photo] this summer and presaged tough times for polar bears and other Arctic animals that rely on sea ice to survive, according to the U.S. Geological Surve

The study marks the first time that human influence on the climate has been demonstrated in the
water cycle, and outside the bounds of typical physical responses such
as warming deep ocean and
sea surface temperatures or diminishing
sea ice and snow cover extent.
The Arctic has transformed over the last five years into a region that's
warmer and greener, with larger patches of open
water as sea ice recedes.
It is not yet clear whether populations that currently bask on land during cooler months will adapt to
warming sea temperatures and begin to bask exclusively in the
water,
as do some other populations around the world.
Because existing phenomena — such
as thermal expansion of
water from
warming — do not fully explain the corrected
sea - level - rise number of 3.3 millimeters, stored heat in the deep ocean may be making a significant contribution, Cazenave said.
With higher levels of carbon dioxide and higher average temperatures, the oceans» surface
waters warm and
sea ice disappears, and the marine world will see increased stratification, intense nutrient trapping in the deep Southern Ocean (also known
as the Antarctic Ocean) and nutrition starvation in the other oceans.
Co-author Dr Ivan Haigh, lecturer in coastal oceanography at the University of Southampton and also based at NOCS, adds: «Historical observations show a rising
sea level from about 1800
as sea water warmed up and melt
water from glaciers and ice fields flowed into the oceans.
As the Earth continued to cool from Years 0.1 to 0.3 billion, a torrential rain fell that turned to steam upon hitting the still hot surface, then superheated
water, and finally collected into hot or
warm seas and oceans above and around cooling crustal rock leaving sediments.
Without the constant force of the wind to hold the
warm waters back, the West Pacific
warm pool begins to migrate easterly
as the

While the Alps could lose anything between 75 percent and 90 percent of their glacial ice by the end of the century, Greenland's glaciers — which have the potential to raise global
sea levels by up to 20 feet — are expected to melt faster
as their exposure to
warm ocean
water increases.
[SLIDE 17] And so not surprisingly
sea level is rising
as a result not only of the loss of mountain glaciers and the great land ice sheets — losses from the great land ice sheets; but also thermal expansion of
sea water because the ocean is getting
warmer.
Climate conditions favor
warm water growth —
as measured by
sea surface temperature (SST)-- later in the year, suggesting that normal climate conditions effectively nipped the nascent El Niño in the bud.
«The Arctic is
warming faster than any other region on Earth and is changing beyond recognition
as open
water replaces
sea ice and permafrost is thawing.
Ocean heating accounts for about 40 percent of global
sea level rise, because
water expands
as it
warms up; global average
sea level from January through November was also a record high, the WMO said.

The whale tale forms the center of the story but, for me, it was the bit players that stole the show - the rays wallowing in the
warm water under the pier, the sun fish snoozling close to the legs of the oil rig, the green
sea turtles «carrying their homes along with them like aquatic RVs» and the herd of dolphins vying with each other to perform the most dare - devilish tricks (I thought the collective noun for dolphins was pod, but Lynne refers to them
as a herd, and I'm not the landlubber to question her!)
