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.

On Pluto, a slurry of nitrogen and water ice melted by subsurface heat stands in for lava, the team suggests, freezing solid once it is exposed at the surface.

The amount of rocking of the magnetic field, caused by its interaction with Jupiter's own immense magnetosphere, provides evidence that the moon has a subsurface ocean of saline water.

It has long been understood that earthquakes can be induced by impoundment of water in reservoirs, surface and underground mining, withdrawal of fluids and gas from the subsurface, and injection of fluids into underground formations.

Data gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope suggest that plumes of water vapor hundreds of kilometers tall, possibly originating in a subsurface ocean, spew from the moon's south pole.

That allows lake water to drain into the subsurface soils, according to a team of scientists led by Laurence C. Smith, a UCLA geographer, and Larry Hinzman, a hydrologist at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.

Highly cited Holland et al 2008 (Acceleration of Jakobshavn Isbræ triggered by warm subsurface ocean waters) uses 20 year grided dataset of subsurf ocean T from commercial fishing industry.

The subsurface water, by the way, is colder than the surface water.

My oceanography book mentions that the cold - watered depths of the Gulf of Mexico don't mix well with the Atlantic due to subsurface ridges and that these cold waters owe their origin to ice sheet meltwater poured out by the Mississippi.

But again, I have to ask a question that you have not answered: How does the heat trapped by CO2 at the surface skin warm the subsurface ocean waters since it is widely acknowledged that the infrared heat from CO2 can't penetrate into the ocean itself?

(Dekens 2007), corresponding to the cooling by Antarctic Bottom waters and its effect on subsurface waters.

But now upwelled subsurface waters were cooler by 4 to 9 °C.

Today's geothermal power operates by pumping very hot subsurface water to the surface to produce steam to run a generator.

Wherever a forest is converted to a grassland, or a grassland to desert, or barren ground is created, maximum skin surface temperatures rise by 10 to 40 °F.8 Also to quench the thirst of growing populations, extraction of subsurface waters has lowered the water table.9 As the water table drops below the reach of roots, soil moisture is reduced and plants die.

The layer of warm surface water that was blown west is then replaced by cooler water from the subsurface, cooling the entire tropical Pacific.

After the warm surface waters have been stripped and pumped poleward by the wind, the subsurface waters are cooler than before.

It does that by pumping warm water from the surface Pacific to the poles and replacing it with cooler subsurface water.

Reduced equatorial cloud cover during La Nina (due to the cooler sea surface temperature), combined with the strong upwelling (Ekman suction) in the eastern equatorial Pacific, does indeed lead to greater warming of the ocean - because it's bringing cool subsurface water to the surface, where it can be heated by the sun.

Drizo, A., C.A. Frost, K.A. Smith, and J. Grace, Phosphate and ammonium removal by constructed wetlands with horizontal subsurface flow, using shale as a substrate, Water Science and Technology, vol.

Based on discussions with my colleagues Rong Zhang and Mike Winton, this seems to be a consequence of an AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) which builds in strength when the aerosol cooling is strong, trying to balance a part of the cooling at the surface with warm waters advected in from the tropics, but also — by a process that is not particularly straightforward — cools the subsurface waters.
