The Indian Ocean is the warmest ocean in the world. [25] Long-term ocean temperature records show a rapid, continuous warming in the Indian Ocean, at about 1.2 °C (34.2 °F) (compared to 0.7 °C (33.3 °F) for the warm pool region) during 1901–2012. [26]
The IOD involves an aperiodic oscillation of sea-surface temperatures (SST), between "positive", "neutral" and "negative" phases. A positive phase sees greater-than-average sea-surface temperatures and greater precipitation in the western Indian Ocean region, [dubious – discuss] with a corresponding cooling of waters in the eastern Indian Ocean—which tends to cause droughts in adjacent ...
(a)Regressed SIOD Index on detrended Sea Surface Temperature (SST) (1958-2007). The western and eastern box used to calculate SIOD Index are indicated. Water temperatures in the southwestern Southern Indian Ocean are significantly higher than water temperature in the eastern part of South Indian Ocean, off Australia.
Looking at 24-hour daily highs, all 10 of the hottest locations were found in India and Pakistan, and the highest temperature recorded on Earth at official weather stations Thursday was a toasty ...
Temperatures measured directly on the ground may exceed air temperatures by 30 to 50 °C (54 to 90 °F). [6] The highest natural ground surface temperature ever recorded may have been an alleged reading of 93.9 °C (201.0 °F) at Furnace Creek, California , United States, on 15 July 1972. [ 7 ]
Land surface temperatures have increased faster than ocean temperatures as the ocean absorbs about 92% of excess heat generated by climate change. [10] Chart with data from NASA [11] showing how land and sea surface air temperatures have changed vs a pre-industrial baseline.
This year is tough to predict because record-high ocean temperatures are grappling with an expected El Niño weather system, with the warmer waters fueling storms and winds from the El Niño ...
The increase of both ocean surface temperature and deeper ocean temperature is an important effect of climate change on oceans. [11] Deep ocean water is the name for cold, salty water found deep below the surface of Earth's oceans. Deep ocean water makes up about 90% of the volume of the oceans.
