As ocean water temperatures dropped below 50 degrees during the previous weeks, thousands of sea turtles became stranded in the Southeast.

The organizations came to the rescue of the stranded sea turtles, a threatened species, off the coast of North Carolina in February when ocean water temperatures dropped below 50 degrees.

Not exact matches

The plan is to drop sensors into the surrounding ocean to measure water temperatures, then skim the ice for signs of changes in surface height.

And then, if the ocean surface water was «diluted» with isotopic light melt water, would this not be reflected with a similar drop in the Greenland ice cores, just by a changing isotope signature of the source, instead of a temperature drop?

After 5 or 6 is always my favorite time to be near the water, there's something so calming about being by the ocean after the crowds have subsided plus the temperature probably dropped a good ten degrees by that time!

Eventually, cross the Antarctic Convergence where you can notice a distinct drop in temperature as the ship enters the waters of the Antarctic Ocean.

Take advantage of the spacious deck and backyard, featuring a private salt water pool (heating available - fees / restrictions apply - must call office in advance for details and to confirm - does not heat if temperatures drop below 55 degrees) and enjoy the gorgeous ocean views while you grill on the custom built - in propane BBQ.

A lot of reseach energy is being devoted to the study of Methane Clathrates — a huge source of greenhouse gases which could be released from the ocean if the thermocline (the buoyant stable layer of warm water which overlies the near - freezing deep ocean) dropped in depth considerably (due to GHG warming), or especially if the deep ocean waters were warmed by very, very extreme changes from the current climate, such that deep water temperatures no longer hovered within 4C of freezing, but warmed to something like 18C.

And then, if the ocean surface water was «diluted» with isotopic light melt water, would this not be reflected with a similar drop in the Greenland ice cores, just by a changing isotope signature of the source, instead of a temperature drop?

Using an ocean circulation model for the shelf, the authors find that surface temperatures may increase by 0.5 to 2.0 °C, seasonal surface salinity may drop by up to 2 PSS in some areas, and that Haida Eddies will strengthen, as will the Vancouver Island Coastal Current and freshwater discharges into coastal waters.

As the temperature continues to drop, the water on the surface may get cold enough to freeze and the lake / ocean begins to ice over.

Even if the temperature e.g. at the poles, the sink places, dropped 1 °C more than average, that doesn't make much difference: the current CO2 level at about 400 ppmv gives about the same partial pressure of 400 microatm everywhere over the oceans (minus a few % due to water vapour).

In October 2017, mission scientists and crew dropped 240 ocean probes from a C - 130 aircraft into the waters around Greenland to measure ocean temperature.

These days, ocean temperature is measured three ways, two of which — XBTs and CTDS — require dropping equipment into the water from ships, so they obviously only provide data where there is currently a boat that has the goods.

I can only list a few regular «goings on'that I KNOW affect sea level; I'm certain that there are others: Change in overall temperature of the oceans (a few millidegrees / mm), plate tectonics, slit from rivers, erosion of seashores, extraction of ground water which ultimately returns to the oceans, marine life and its products building up the ocean floors, melting land ice, undersea discharges of a variety of «stuff» from literally hundreds of thousands of sources, often at temperatures in the 1 - 2 thousand degree range, which we are only now beginning to notice, wind carrying dust from the land and dropping it on the ocean.
