Analyzing ocean mixing reveals insight on climate
2015-06-25 05:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a computer model that clarifies the complex processes driving ocean mixing in the vast eddies that swirl across hundreds of miles of open ocean. "The model enables us to study the important processes of ocean storms, which move heat and carbon from the atmosphere into the deep ocean," said Todd Ringler, who leads the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME) ocean science team at Los Alamos. "This happens very slowly, but over the next...

Exceptional view of deep Arctic Ocean methane seeps
2015-06-22 17:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Close to 30,000 high definition images of the deep Arctic Ocean floor were captured on a recent research cruise. This gives researchers insight into the most remote sites of natural methane release in the world. Over a course of 12 days Dr. Giuliana Panieri and her colleagues from Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate collected images from seven areas of known methane release in the Arctic Ocean. One of them was Vestnesa Ridge, with over 1000 active seep sites at the depth of over...
