Ricke said: «Our results show that if we continue on our current emissions path, by the end of the century there will be no water left in the ocean with the chemical properties that have supported coral reef growth in the past.

The preliminary results, analyzed by paleoclimatologist Pierre Sepulchre of the Climate and Environment Laboratory, suggest that with any channel deeper than 200 meters currents behave as though there's an entire ocean there.

There is, therefore, much current interest in how coccolithophore calcification might be affected by climate change and ocean acidification, both of which occur as atmospheric carbon dioxide increases.

Then there is the increased poleward flow of the ocean currents — partly driven by Hurricanes, I understand.

For oceans There was a publication released last year by the Pew Center (Pew is a charitable foundation whose main focus is education) «Coral Reefs & Global Climate Change» a summary of the current science on this issue.

We see an impressive map / video screen tracking ocean currents, temperatures, etc. and there is a chart comparing electricity usage by U.S. citizens vs other countries (we are energy hogs, in case you weren't sure).

Balance time for those surface layers is short, but for the deep ocean, CO2 doesn't diffuse but is gradually carried there by slow moving ocean currents, these may take on the order of a thousand years to complete.

The current energy imbalance at the surface (as demonstrated by the increasing heat content of the oceans) implies there is at least a further 0.5 deg C surface warming in the «pipeline».

Even if there is equal warming in the tropics, but the heat is not dissipated to the poles fast enough by the ocean currents, the area of high SSTs will increase and more heat will dissipated by other means like TC's.

From which this came: «Once these glacial rivers pour out into the larger body of water, they're picked up by ocean currents, moving east to west, and begin to circulate there.

when there are so many other gases such as methane and water vapor that are equally or more important and forget the input by the sun and ocean currents

If fresh submarine groundwater discharge approaches just 7 % of the total SGD, it would not only balance current groundwater recharge, but would steadily raise sea level by an additional 2 mm / year, even if there was no ocean warming and no melting glaciers.

Hi CH There are two major factor in global climatic changes (and I consider CO2 to be a minor one, taking place below the UHI)-- direct Sun - Earth link (TSI, electromagnetic, UV and particle radiation)-- Ocean heath storage (long term integration process) and distribution (ocean currents) Views of solar scientists (including Mike Lockwood) are constrained by their 1950's hero Eugene Parker's theories, which the latest discoveries often bring into quesOcean heath storage (long term integration process) and distribution (ocean currents) Views of solar scientists (including Mike Lockwood) are constrained by their 1950's hero Eugene Parker's theories, which the latest discoveries often bring into quesocean currents) Views of solar scientists (including Mike Lockwood) are constrained by their 1950's hero Eugene Parker's theories, which the latest discoveries often bring into question.

Yes there is of course a huge amount of energy stored in the oceans and it is mixed around by currents that have a propensity to even out temperatures.

It's very clear (thanks to Steve M, Willis etc) that there are issues with both but given the current hyped claim by the «warmers» that the past effects of man - caused global warming have largely been masked by the warming of the oceans and that unless we reduce CO2 emissions now that we won't be able to mitigate future global warming when this «stored heat» eventually comes back out of the oceans and leads to catastrophic effects, I'm very interested in getting to the punchline of this debate on SSTs.

So while admitting, there probably is a very modest amount of AGW in the current warming cycle, it could just as easily have been caused by: i) the effects of the huge increase in global irrigation, ii) tiny changes in the sun's radiation, and / or iii) the knock on effects of changes in the intensity and direction of ocean currents.

It's all so complicated but I think there is a fine balance between how much heat is carried by atmospheric currents and how much is carried by ocean currents and that maybe it doesn't take much to change the proportion of which one dominates.

Lansner and Pepke Pedersen (2018) point out that, due to the divergent rates of warming and cooling for land vs. ocean water, there is a significant difference in the range of temperature for the regions of the world influenced by their close proximity to oceans and coastal wind currents (ocean air affected, or OAA) and the inland regions of the world that are unaffected by ocean air effects and coastal wind because they are sheltered by hills and mountains or located in valleys (ocean air sheltered, or OAS).

We know where it starts — in the Arctic Ocean where warm water brought there by currents cools, sinks, and flows south along the bottom until it reaches West Antarctic.

According to Environment Oregon, there are 100 million tons of plastic trash in the North Pacific concentrated by the ocean's currents into a toxic soup 1000 miles off our coast where plastic outnumbers plankton 40 - to - 1.

Also warming should be more pronounced at higher latitudes, but there is no, repeat no, warming in Antarctica except for the peninsula, where the warming is probably caused by ocean currents, not atmospheric CO2.

1) The enhancement to the hydrological cycle 2) increased advection of energy toward the polar regions, both by ocean currents and of course the atmosphere (there is a large team studying the expanding IPWP and the effects on atmospheric circulation right now).

«Our results show that if we continue on our current emissions path, by the end of the century there will be no water left in the ocean with the chemical properties that have supported coral reef growth in the past.
