Wind patterns could mask effects of global warming in ocean

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found that natural variability in the Earth's atmosphere could be masking the overall effect of global warming in the North Atlantic Ocean.

1. Climate's remote control on hurricanes
   12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Natural climate variations, which tend to involve localized changes in sea surface temperature, may have a larger effect on hurricane activity than the more uniform patterns of global warming, a report in this week's Nature suggests.

3. 1,000-year-old Arctic ponds disappearing due to global warming
   07-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Research has uncovered alarming evidence that high Arctic ponds, many have been permanent bodies of water for thousands of years, are completely drying out during the polar summer. These shallow ponds are important indicators of environment change and are especially susceptible to the effects of climate change because of their low water volume.Researchers studied these Arctic ponds over 24 years. This data represents the longest record of systematic limnological monitoring from the high Arctic.

4. Global warming will reduce ocean productivity, marine life
   12-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A 10-year, satellite-based analysis has shown for the first time that primary biological productivity in the oceans -- the growth of phytoplankton that forms the basis for the rest of the marine food chain -- is tightly linked to climate change, and would be reduced by global warming. This would cause a rapid, overall reduction in marine life.

6. North Atlantic warming tied to natural variability; but global warming may be at play elsewhere
   01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A Duke University-led analysis of available records shows that while the North Atlantic Ocean's surface waters warmed in the 50 years between 1950 and 2000, the change was not uniform. In fact, the subpolar regions cooled at the same time that subtropical and tropical waters warmed.

   07-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   About twice as many Atlantic hurricanes form each year on average than a century ago, according to a new statistical analysis. The study concludes that warmer sea surface temperatures and altered wind patterns associated with global climate change are fueling much of the increase.
