El Niño is strictly related to water temperatures near the equator in the eastern Pacific Ocean. In April, NOAA issued an El Niño watch, saying there is a 62% chance of the phenomenon developing ...
Average air temperatures are roughly 1.8 F higher today than they were from 1979-2000, but water has a greater capacity to absorb and store heat — the ocean has absorbed about 90% of the heat ...
The mass bleaching that started in February 2023 is now the most extensive on record, ... If current ocean temperatures are the new normal, the world may be entering a period “where we’re more ...
2023 was the hottest year on record, 1.48 °C warmer than the pre-industrial level. [16] 2023 surface air temperatures breached the 1.5 °C threshold for a record number of days. The world breached the Paris Agreement 1.5 °C warming mark for a record number of days. [17]
At Ocean Station Papa in the Gulf of Alaska the temperature and salinity at the surface might be about 6°C and 32.55 parts per thousand giving a density of sea-water of 1.0256 g/cm 3. At a depth of 2000 metres (pressure of 2000 decibars) the temperature might be 2°C and the salinity 34.58 parts per thousand.
The 20 storms this year, which includes an unnamed subtropical storm that formed in mid-January, ties 1933 for the 4th highest on record.
Evidence for a multidecadal climate oscillation centered in the North Atlantic began to emerge in 1980s work by Folland and colleagues, seen in Fig. 2.d.A. [5] That oscillation was the sole focus of Schlesinger and Ramankutty in 1994, [6] but the actual term Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) was coined by Michael Mann in a 2000 telephone interview with Richard Kerr, [7] as recounted by ...
Widespread marine heat waves in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean peaked in September and continued through the end of the year.
