Consensuses and discrepancies of basin-scale ocean heat content (OHC) changes in different ocean analyses – part III
Reading Time: 8 minutes . . ARGOMENTO: OCEANOGRAFIA PERIODO: XXI SECOLO AREA: OCEANI parole chiave: OHC . 4. Discussions and summary This study compares the OHC changes in the three gridded subsurface temperature datasets for four major ocean basins. The findings confirm that each ocean basin has experienced a robust warming in the past three decades. And the basin…

Reading Time: 16 minutes . . ARGOMENTO: OCEANOGRAFIA PERIODO: XXI SECOLO AREA: OCEANI parole chiave: Ocean Heat Content . 3. Results In this section, global and regional OHC changes based on the three products are shown (Sect. 3.1). To examine the decadal variations, we focus on two periods: 1983–1998 and 1998–2012, the latter is typically referred as the slowdown…

Reading Time: 5 minutes Per quanto possa sembrare incredibile abbiamo più informazioni sulla superficie di altri pianeti di quante ne abbiamo su cosa si trovi nelle profondità degli oceani. Mandare un uomo nello spazio è senz’altro complesso ma esplorare gli abissi non è da meno e, sotto molti aspetti, l’ambiente da fronteggiare è anche più aggressivo del vuoto cosmico.…
