Even if the northern
ocean increases in productivity in the future, it will barely be enough to maintain current levels of fish consumption.
Overall, precipitation over land increases by about 5 %, while precipitation
over ocean increases 4 %, but with regional changes of both signs.
What happens when the world moves into a warm, interglacial period isn't certain, but in 2009, a paper published in Science by researchers found that upwelling in the Southern
Ocean increased as the last ice age waned, correlated to a rapid rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Between 2003 and 2007, productivity in the
Arctic Ocean increased by 23 % relative to the 1998 - 2002 average.
The heat content of the
world ocean increased by ~ 2 × 10 ^ 23 joules between the mid-1950s and mid-1990s, representing a volume mean warming of 0.06 °C.
At this time the E-W sea surface temperature gradients in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans increased [29], [31] intensifying the E-W moisture transport in the tropics, which greatly increased rainfall variability both on a precession and an ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) time - scales.
«The implication is that the
warmer oceans increased the risk of greater hurricane intensity and duration,» Trenberth said.
Wang and Lee found that warming of the tropical Pacific and
Indian oceans increases Atlantic wind shear, while rising sea temperatures in the tropical North Atlantic decrease shear.
Acoustic shocks, electrocution, and robot shredders — extreme measures are being considered to tackle the increasing numbers of jellyfish in the oceans
New research published in the Journal of Physical Research found the intensifying wind over
that ocean increased the speed and energy of eddies and jets, which are responsible in large part for the movement of nutrients, heat and salt across the ocean basin.
The uptake of fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO2) by
the ocean increases seawater acidity and causes a decline in carbonate ion concentrations.
As the acidity of
the oceans increases, it will have devastating impacts on marine life, including plankton, corals and shellfish, and the animals that eat them.
Is the heat content of
the oceans increasing?
The addition of CO2 to
the ocean increases the hydrogen - ion activity of ocean waters (decreasing ocean pH), and thus makes the oceans more acidic.
The mass of ice delivered to
the ocean increases, contributing to a rise in sea level.
9) Solar energy input to
the oceans increases but not all is returned to the air.
It is «voodoo economics» to have amount of CO2 dissolved in
oceans increasing (the reducing pH) while claiming net outflow from ocean to atmosphere.
As the acidity of
the oceans increases, it will have devastating impacts on marine life, including plankton, corals and shellfish, and the animals that eat them.
«If the temperature of
the oceans increases by two degrees as suggested by some reports, it will accelerate the thawing to the extreme.
The scientists say that due to climate change, the water in
the ocean increased in temperature by 1 degree Celsius (33.8 Fahrenheit) as noted on the coral bleaching event last month.
