By looking at monthly extremes instead of annual averages, the two found that over time, more and more patches (区域) of water were reaching extreme temperatures. Then, in 2014, the entire ocean hit a point of no return, Van Houtan says. Heat waves harm ocean ecosystems. They can lead...

SYDNEY, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- Higher than average ocean temperatures have put Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef on the brink of a severe coral bleaching event, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) has warned on Tuesday. Recording an increase of 1.0 to 2.5 degrees centigrade in...
Using the strong relationship between temperatures in the so-called main development region and the seasonal power dissipation index (PDI), we estimate that about one third of the increase in PDI over the last 25 years can be attributed to decreases in dust loadings over the same period. Our ...
When it rains, or spring temperatures cause snow to melt, large quantities of water run off the land. The ground and trees absorb a lot of it, but plenty still runs into rivers or storm drains and then out to sea.As the water runs over the land, it wears down the soil and carries...
The display shows a year-by-year time slider from 1974-2019 with the spring survey points overlayed onto the ocean temperature dataset. 4-8 degrees Celsius is the ideal temperature for cod spawning and it is shown as the light blue and greenish blue temperatures. ...
(in the graph above, the solid black line again shows 2024’s temperatures, this time specifically in the north atlantic. orange is 2023.) over in the pacific, an el niño band of warm water formed last summer and is now waning , both accounting for a good chunk of ocean warming ...
Marine heatwaves are prolonged periods of time when ocean temperatures are much warmer than usual. While marine heatwaves have occurred in the past, they have become more prevalent and intense over the last century. Click the arrow on the right side of the image to learn moreScience...
An international team of researchers, including those from EMPA and the University of Bern, has come up with the method that uses ice cores from Antarctica to more accurately measure average global ocean temperatures over the past 24,000 years, during which the transition from the last ice age...
Over the time interval studied, spanning greenhouse and icehouse climates, paleotemperatures within 10° N or S are invariant with paleolatitude. Inflections in latitudinal temperature gradients at 30° and 50° define boundaries for the next two bins. Lastly, stage-averaged paleotemperatures for ...
