2c). The largest enhancement occurs in the mid-latitude ocean basins, with an increase of up to 100 days. Decreases in annual CLH days are found in parts of the eastern tropical Pacific and high-latitude Southern Ocean. As a global average, the annual CLH days have increased significantly ...
Marine debris and in particular plastics have been found in all ocean basins of the world (Barnes et al. 2009; Eriksen et al. 2014; Galgani et al. 2015; Van Sebille et al. 2015). The Arctic region has long been considered a pristine environment, relatively undisturbed by humans. However...
North Pacific has decreased by more than 9 percent during the past 20 years, and by nearly 7 percent in the North Atlantic, Gregg and his colleagues determined from their satellite observations and shipboard surveys. Studies combining all the major ocean basins of the world have revealed the ...
Pacific “decadal” climate variability has a timescale of 15 to 20 years, which is longer than the dominant Atlantic decadal timescales. The difference in timescale may reflect the size of the ocean basins and hence timescale for planetary wave propagation. Decadal Pacific modes include the Paci...
2d). EKE is projected to increase in both the Eurasian and Canada basins. By better resolving mesoscale eddies in the Arctic basin, the eddy-rich simulations show an even more pronounced increase in Arctic EKE. The mean EKE in the upper 200 m of the Arctic Ocean shows a significant ...
The study published on Friday in the journal Science shows that the acidification rates in the western Arctic Ocean are three to four times faster than in other ocean basins. An increase in human-induced carbon dioxide resulted in a more acidic seawater and less saturated calcium carbonate mineral...
Heat content trends in the upper 700 meters (2,300 feet) of the world ocean show where heat was gained or lost between 1993 and 2019. Large parts of most ocean basins are gaining heat (orange), but some areas have lost heat (blue). Gray shaded areas have trends that are not ...
The ridge divides the sea into two major basins, which are over 3,000 m/ 9,843 ft in depth. On the satellite image to the left, you can see the vertical (from top to bottom) light blue line in the deep blue sea. This is the boundary where the earth's continental places move apa...
In the Arctic Ocean, CO measurements are scarce, especially within sea ice and at the sea surface microlayer. The few available studies on CO in the Arctic Ocean report elevated and highly variable concentrations compared to other ocean basins (Tran et al. 2013). Studies by Xie et al. (...
