A third set of simulations used modern greenhouse gases but removed the unusual pattern
of sea surface temperatures in 2014 - 15.
• It is very likely that the human - induced increase in greenhouse gases has contributed to the increase
in sea surface temperatures in the hurricane formation regions.
This study differs from earlier research into possible links between hurricanes and
warmer sea surface temperatures by looking as well at the effect of warmer air.
Thus the CO2 content of the atmosphere depends
on sea surface temperatures, amongst other things.
Changes in
sea surface height can indicate the amount of heat in the ocean because the ocean expands when it is heated and contracts when it is cooled.
«
For sea surface temperature change, you would have to do it over a very large area and you would have to do it quickly,» he said.
Global
average sea surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s but have been relatively flat for the past 15 years.
This expectation (Figure 11) is based on an anticipated enhancement of energy available to the storms due to higher
tropical sea surface temperatures.
This resulted from the combined effects of
high sea surface temperatures in open water areas and the effects of atmospheric circulation drawing warm air into the region.
As the southern hemisphere is largely ocean, southern hemisphere temperature analyses are largely drawn
from sea surface temperatures measured from ships.
Some observations, such
as sea surface temperatures, are of little value until perhaps the 1950's.
This kind of warming makes the partial pressure of CO2 in
sea surface water exponentially rise.
This is related to determining the uncertainty in an estimate of global
mean sea surface temperature, or of a trend over multiple years.
In other words, their current analysis
uses sea surface temperature data and they present two different datasets.
This study attempted to determine the relationships between solar activity and SST
[sea surface temperature].
The following image, also from that article,
shows sea surface temperature anomalies.
Global warming also
causes sea surface temperatures to rise, precipitation patterns to change, etc..
The map below show
current sea surface temperature anomalies — that is the difference from average temperatures.
More subtle effects are seen from variables
like sea surface temperature and net primary production.
Summer sea surface temperatures in some sections have risen around 1 degree C over the past two decades — nearly five times the global average.
It is simply physically wrong to
specify sea surface temperatures and observe the atmospheric response for any phenomenon whose time scale is more than a few months.
Their species distribution in ocean cores is often related to
past sea surface temperatures.
White 1997
finds sea surface temperatures change by 0.1 °C due to the 11 year solar cycle, looking at data from 1955 to 1994.
