As deeply troubling reports continue to come in about ocean waters hitting historic hot temperatures, sectors like global shipping are trying to understand the consequences of a warmer ocean and what can be done to stop the heating. Warmer water also expands and raises sea levels as well as holds less oxygen.

The ocean retains heat for much longer than land does. Picture how a radiator heats a home. Water is heated by a boiler, and the hot water circulates through pipes and radiators in the house.

The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other. While temperatures provide a measure of the Earth’s climate, it is even better to use the global sea level , which provides a far more reliable measure.

Despite promising adaptation strategies, sea level rise is projected to drown tens of thousands of acres of farmland within the century.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. Several floating ice shelves – the massive slabs of ice that push back grounded ice from flowing into the ocean – have catastrophically broken up in a matter of days because of such melting.

Albedo The amount of solar radiation reflected from an object or surface, often expressed as a percentage. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Any gas that absorbs infrared radiation in the atmosphere. Natural emissions of N 2 O are mainly from bacteria breaking down nitrogen in soils and the oceans. a reduction in ocean pH).
