But climate change is warming once cool waters, and vibriosis cases have been relentlessly spreading northward. Humans can get sick from Vibrio by eating infected seafood such as oysters, unwittingly swallowing a mouthful of ocean water or exposing an open wound to the sea. coastlines, particularly the Gulf Coast.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a large-scale overturning motion of the entire Atlantic, from the Southern Ocean to the high north. Graph by Ruijian Gou. The AMOC is a big deal for climate. It moves around 15 million cubic meters of water per second (i.e. 15 Sverdrup). Take the IPCC reports.

And since 2006, it has been even faster: as high as 4.2 The primary cause of accelerating sea level rise is human activity As people burn fossil fuels and emit heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, our atmosphere and our oceans warm up. As the ocean warms, it expands. That adds water to the oceans, which raises their level.

Meanwhile, note that the factors listed above involve the whole Earth system: the oceans, the cryosphere, the atmosphere, the solid earth and lithosphere, and a full range of scales, from the city block and shoreline, to ice dynamics that change over kilometers, to GRD footprints, to the whole global ocean. 2020) or Sadai et al.

This would have a cooling effect on Atlantic SST, as well as a stabilizing effect on the regional atmosphere ( Dunion and Velden 2004 ), and would be expected to reduce tropical storm formation frequency for some (possibly prolonged) period.

If the sun was driving the warming, we’d see it in the stratospheric temperatures (which are cooling in line with expectations from the impact of CO2, not warming due to the supposed increase in solar activity). If the land data was contaminated by urban heating effects, we wouldn’t see similar warming in the ocean.
