Polyakov says a positive feedback loop is underway,
in which less summer
sea ice will lead to
warmer winter
waters and even less summer ice
in subsequent years.
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.
Higher
sea surface temperatures led to a huge patch of
warm water, dubbed «The Blob,» that appeared
in the northern Pacific Ocean more than two years ago.
Global
warming could seriously mess with fisheries
in a few ways: Carbon dioxide
in the air contributes to ocean acidification,
sea level rise could change the dynamics of fisheries, and cold
water fish like salmon could be pushed out by
warming streams.
Then, they nestled the boxes into parts of the
sea floor near the Rothera Research Station
in Antarctica, where they
warmed a thin layer of
water to 1 °C or 2 °C above the ambient temperature.
After further analysis of the data, the scientists found that although a strong El Niño changes wind patterns
in West Antarctica
in a way that promotes flow of
warm ocean
waters towards the ice shelves to increase melting from below, it also increases snowfall particularly along the Amundsen
Sea sector.
So this effect could either be the result of natural variability
in Earth's climate, or yet another effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like
water vapor trapping more heat and thus
warming sea - surface temperatures.
In some places, like the Amundsen
Sea, the
warm water even reaches the continental shelf.
TURTLE TROUBLE Green
sea turtle populations
in parts of the Great Barrier Reef are becoming increasingly female because their eggs are being incubated at higher temperatures due to
warming ocean
waters.
«Today, the Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers are grounded
in a very precarious position, and major retreat may already be happening, caused primarily by
warm waters melting from below the ice shelves that jut out from each glacier into the
sea,» said Matthew Wise of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute, and the study's first author.
Heat that stays at the surface will ultimately result
in greater
sea - level rise as
warmer water expands more readily as it heats up.
The high - resolution maps have also helped explain how the
warm water reaches the undersides of glaciers
in the Amundsen
Sea Embayment.
Ongoing changes
in ocean circulation patterns, which are helping to drive
warm water from other parts of the
sea closer to the Antarctic continent, are also believed to be a major factor.
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
They are found
in scattered areas throughout the world's oceans, but are concentrated
in temperate
waters, and rare or absent
in very cold or very
warm seas.
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.
Oceanographer Xiao - Hai Yan of the University of Delaware
in Newark and Ocean University of China
in Qingdao has studied the Western Pacific
Warm Pool — a body of
water,
warmer and less dense than the surrounding
seas, that greatly expands and moves around the Pacific during an El Niño.
Looking at
sea level rise,
water would rise 37 inches
in the moderate
warming scenario and 48 inches
in the faster model.
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.
Nor even the catastrophic failure of Scottish seabirds to breed, which some researchers attributed to a dearth of plankton
in the
warming waters of the North
Sea.
But
sea surface temperatures
in tropical areas are now
warmer during today's La Niña years (when the
water is typically cooler) than during El Niño events 40 years ago, says study coauthor Terry Hughes, a coral researcher at James Cook University
in Townsville, Australia.
Worse still,
in places like west Antarctica, ice sheets rest on land that is below
sea level, and so could be exposed directly to
warm water.
Retreating
sea ice
in the Iceland and Greenland
Seas may be changing the circulation of
warm and cold
water in the Atlantic Ocean, and could ultimately impact the climate
in Europe, says a new study by an atmospheric physicist from the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) and his colleagues
in Great Britain, Norway and the United States.

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.
So when algal populations explode, say, because of
warming water, domoic acid concentrations increase
in these animals to a point that they affect the
sea lions that feast on them.
A possible cause for the accelerated Arctic
warming is the melting of the region's
sea ice, which reduces the icy, bright area that can reflect sunlight back out into space, resulting
in more solar radiation being absorbed by the dark Arctic
waters.
