there were subtle variations in the sea surface temperature pattern that preconditioned the atmosphere for wetter-than-usual conditions in the region (2). These variations include the magnitude and lo ...

buoy. The ocean absorbs about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that is released in the atmosphere, and as that CO2 is absorbed, it changes the pH of the ocean. Ocean acidification poses a big ri ...

but the animation shows burning of fossil fuels transferring CO2 from "rocks" to the atmosphere, both of which are within the "geosphere". Or do the creators of this lab put fossil fuels in the "biosp ...

beryllium 10, the rock is analytically sampled for a time in which it was exposed to the atmosphere, thus melting off the glacier. - The scientists are then able to compare glacier melting with CO2 le ...

helpful background on the complex chemical interactions and impacts of CO2 from the atmosphere on the marine ecosystem. Additionally, this site provides links to papers, data, and graphs, which will a ...

students throughout. Activity walks users through the key concepts related to the ocean and atmosphere as a global regulators in the Earth's climate system. All embedded applets work and directly rela ...

we ask you a question now? ENSO Blog writer Tom, what can we, the Pacific Ocean and tropical atmosphere, expect from El Niño for the rest of the year? Tom: Well, that's a first. But great question! Th ...

Earth's atmosphere and ocean warms, computer models suggest that the Arctic Ocean could be nearly free of sea ice during summers within 30 years. The images above show simulations of sea ice thickness ...

might transpire in the coming months. "Many of today's leading comprehensive coupled ocean- atmosphere dynamic models are predicting strengthening of El Niño conditions toward summer," Barnston said, " ...

from satellite observations, the observational record for Arctic snow cover spans 56 years. In the spring of 2022, snow cover extent across the North American Arctic was second-lowest on record, while ...
