Covering more than 70% of Earth’s surface, our global ocean serves as the largest solar energy collector on Earth. Because water has a higher heat capacity than air, it can absorb an immense amount of heat without a large increase in temperature. The ability to store and release heat over...
Ocean heating affects the planet's weather systems by raising air temperatures and supplying more moisture. It also leads to increases in the intensity of storms and heavy rain. Other consequences of ocean heating include declining ocean oxygen, melting sea ice, bleaching and death of corals. Beca...
However, ocean warming reduced the efficiency of oceanic carbon uptake and left more carbon dioxide in the air, said Cheng Lijing, lead paper author and associate professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "Monitoring and understanding the heat a...
The ocean absorbs >90% of anthropogenic heat in the Earth system, moderating global atmospheric warming. However, it remains unclear how this heat uptake is distributed by basin and across water masses. Here we analyze historical and recent observations to show that ocean heat uptake has accelerate...
Marine heatwaves doubled in frequency between 1982 and 2016, and have become more intense and longer since the 1980s, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). While air temperatures have seen some dramatic increases in recent years, the oceans take longer to heat up,...
The primary contribution to the surface warming is from the enhanced tropospheric IR emission, which is an order of magnitude greater than the direct CO2 radiative heating at the surface. The source for this enhancement is the increased H2O evaporation from the warmer oceans in the CO2 rich ...

It is also found that the PSA modulates the westerlies in the South Pacific which in turn affect rainfall in New Zealand, air temperature and sea ice in the Antarctic Peninsula, and blocking events in the high-latitudes of the South Pacific (Kwok and Comiso 2002; Renwick 2002). In summary...
Understanding wind stress (drag) over the ocean is central to many facets of air-sea interaction, which in turn is vital for models of weather prediction a... Jones,Ian - Cambridge University Press, 被引量: 264发表: 2001年 Sensitivity of ocean acidification to geoengineered climate stabilizatio...
