The oceans are heating up a lot more quickly than we thought

Salon: Turns out, the upper layer of the Southern Hemisphere`s oceans has been heating up faster than we thought. A lot faster: according to the new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, since 1970 it`s been warming about 24 to 58 percent more quickly than models suggested. The thing that was surprising to me was the magnitude of this underestimation, Paul Durack, an oceanographer with DOEs Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and the study`s lead author, told Science....
Oceans Getting Hotter Than Anybody Realized

Climate Central: The RV Kaharoa motored out of Wellington, New Zealand on Saturday, loaded with more than 100 scientific instruments, each eventually destined for a watery grave. Crewmembers will spend the next two months dropping the 50-pound devices, called Argo floats, into the seas between New Zealand and Mauritius, off the coast of Madagascar. There, the instruments will sink and drift, then measure temperature, salinity and pressure as they resurface to beam the data to a satellite. The battery-powered floats...
What Will Survive in Hot, Acidic Oceans?

Climate Central: Marine losers abound in the hustling currents of warming and acidifying oceans. Trying to figure out which types of sea life, particularly those that form calcium carbonate-rich cells and exoskeletons, such as some plankton, corals, and shellfish, will thrive amid climate change can be like playing a high-stakes shell game. New research suggests that at least one type of plankton could overcome what would seem to be long odds, and double down on its ecosystem dominance. The surprise finding is...

Oceans Hid the Heat and Slowed Pace of Global Warming
2014-08-22 17:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ClimateWire: Newly published data suggest that a hiatus in rising global air temperatures in the 21st century is the result of heat sinks deep in the Atlantic and Southern oceans. The trend is likely connected to roughly 30-year global warming and cooling cycles, according to researchers. The study could put to rest a long-standing debate among scientists about why air temperature rise had halted after a period of rapid increases at the end of the 20th century. "We weren't surprised by the results, but...

Reuters: From the Galapagos Islands to Australia's Coral Sea and a marine park off the coast of Mexico, the documentary "Mission Blue" navigates the journey of renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle as she travels the globe to save the planet's threatened seas. With stunning underwater footage, the film that airs on Friday on the online streaming service Netflix and in selected U.S. theaters, shows the devastating impact of pollution, overfishing and climate change on the oceans through the eyes of the renowned...
