Ocean warming shown in 40 year NOAA study
NOAA scientists report a broad warming of the world s oceans since the 1950s, with Pacific and Atlantic heat rising by 0.56 F near the surface and 0.11 F down to 10,000 feet. The study, covering 5 million readings, suggests ocean heat absorption helps explain stronger modelled warming and supports greenhouse gas driven climate change.
