, 2020 AbstractSea surface temperature (SST) and upper ocean heat content (OHC, upper 700 m) in the tropical Indian Ocean underwent rapid warming during 1950–2015, with the SSTs showing an average warming of about 1 °C. The SST and OHC trends are very likely to continue in the future, under different emission scenarios.

A Plea for Temperature in Descriptions of the Oceanic Oxygen Status [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 For over 50 years, the ocean science community has traditionally reported hypoxic limits for marine animals simply as a concentration value independent of temperature and pressure, implying the same limit for the warmest shallow gulf or the coldest deep ...

Arctic and Antarctic forcing of ocean interior warming during the last deglaciation
Scientific Reports, 2023 Subsurface water masses formed at high latitudes impact the latitudinal distribution of heat in the ocean. Yet uncertainty surrounding the timing of low-latitude warming during the last deglaciation (18–10 ka) means that controls on sub-surface ...

Historical Changes in Wind‐Driven Ocean Circulation Can Accelerate Global Warming
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate change depend on accurate climate projections for the coming decades. While changes in radiative heat fluxes are known to contribute to surface warming, changes to ocean circulation can also impact the ...

Nature Communications, 2021 Cooling of the global ocean below 2000 m counteracted some of the warming of the shallow ocean over much of the late 20th century. Here the authors show that this trend has shifted to warming, leading the deep ocean to absorb a meaningful fraction of ...

Polar Amplification Due to Enhanced Heat Flux Across the Halocline [PDF]
, 2020 Polar amplification is a widely discussed phenomenon, and a range of mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to it, many of which involve atmospheric and surface processes.

Change of Global Ocean Temperature and Decadal Variability under 1.5 °C Warming in FOAM
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 The rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration is regarded as the dominant reason for observed warming since the mid-20th century. Based on the Paris Agreement target, this research designs three conceptual pathways to achieve the warming target of 1.5 °C ...

Tracking ocean heat uptake during the surface warming hiatus. [PDF]
, 2016 Ocean heat uptake is observed to penetrate deep into the Atlantic and Southern Oceans during the recent hiatus of global warming. Here we show that the deep heat penetration in these two basins is not unique to the hiatus but is characteristic of ...

Subsurface ocean warming preceded Heinrich Events
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractAlthough the global environmental impact of Laurentide Ice-Sheet destabilizations on glacial climate during Heinrich Events is well-documented, the mechanism driving these ice-sheet instabilities remains elusive. Here we report foraminifera-based subsurface (~150 m water depth) ocean temperature and salinity reconstructions from a sediment core

Northwestern Pacific typhoon intensity controlled by changes in ocean temperatures. [PDF]
, 2015 Dominant climatic factors controlling the lifetime peak intensity of typhoons are determined from six decades of Pacific typhoon data. We find that upper ocean temperatures in the low-latitude northwestern Pacific (LLNWP) and sea surface temperatures in ...
