Gerald Meehl, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research who was also an author on the paper, said this research expanded on past work, including his own research, that pointed to the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation as a factor in a warming slowdown by finding a mechanism behind how the Pacific Ocean was able to store enough heat to produce a pause in surface warming.

So as soon as the hail of asteroids stopped, Earth may have cooled to an average surface temperature of — 40 °F and a crust of ice as much as 1,000 feet thick may have covered the oceans.

As these winds enhance ocean circulation, they may be encouraging carbon - rich waters to rise from the deep, say the team, meaning that surface water is less able to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.

Researchers at MIT have now identified a less dramatic though far more pervasive source of acoustic - gravity waves: surface ocean waves, such as those that can be seen from a beach or the deck of a boat.

Because Charon's modern - day surface is mostly water ice, it makes sense that the 1212 - km - diameter moon once had a subsurface ocean kept liquid by heat from the radioactive decay of elements in its core, as well as by the heat generated from collisions of smaller bits when the moon first accumulated.

For example, as a reef is growing at the ocean's surface, it can build up only so fast.

The ancient Greek thinker Aristotle had a theory about why female argonaut octopuses have a shell: he suggested that they used it as a boat to float on the ocean surface.

This interaction may occur anywhere in the ocean, in particular in regions where surface - gravity waves interact as they reflect from continental shelf breaks, where the deep - sea suddenly faces a much shallower shoreline.

Eventually, possibly a few hundred million years after the moon formed, the deepest parts of the ocean froze, swelling to crack surface ice — which may have been 10 km thick or more — just as ice cubes in a freezer often do.

Koslow has researched the impact of climate - change - driven warming on what are known as oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), naturally occurring low - oxygen regions found well below the ocean's surface.

Topsoil and natural vegetation would ordinarily filter many of these pollutants out, but the impermeable pavement that covers much of the surface where these pollutants originate carries it right into storm drains and into streams, rivers, lakes and the ocean where it can poison marine life — which we might eat — as well as entire riparian or coastal ecosystems.
