websites having to do with global warming and the ocean?

Question

Does anyone know where I can find a website about global warming effecting the ocean?

Answer 1

Please Look at The Weather Channel- For more information.

Thank You!

Answer 2

The effect is not just one direction. The oceans have a great impact on the atmosphere and our climate. One example is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. It oscillates from a warm phase to a cool phase. Each phase lasts 30 or 40 years. If you check the PDO against the global temperature record in the 20th century, the correlation is remarkable. It does not act alone. The North Atlantic Oscillation and the El Nino Southern Oscillation also play a role. When all three are in their warm phase (as in 1998 and 2006), the Earth can get quite warm indeed.

Ocean heat content is a metric for measuring global warming. It was proposed by Roger Pielke and has been used by Warmers and Skeptics alike. Here is a link to a recent paper on OHC.

Here are some other sites providing data on atmosphere, oceans and sea ice:

Answer 3

First of all, "affecting"(changing) not "effecting"(causing). Global warming doesn't cause the ocean, it changes it.Google to "global warming, ocean) and you get several websites like:

Oceans rise with global warming for 2 reasons: melting of the ice cap and (mainly) ocean water expands with a rise in temperature over 4 degrees celsius.

Answer 4

You can probably find more sites about how global warming is junk science.

The idea is that massive global warmin will stop the ocean currents resulting in an ice age.. but you should look for this under global warming theroy.

Answer 5

I know of one of two but they're really detailed and go into all the scioentific and technical stuff. No doubt there will be ones that provide the info you're looking for without having to wade through masses of other stuff.

If there's anything in particular you'd like to know please post another question (or email me). My girlfriend is qualified as a marine biologist and I'm a climatologist so this is a subject that interests both of us.

Answer 6

whoi.edu (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)--it is one of the leading centers of the effects of global warming on the oceans.

Answer 7

CoolingEarth.org

Answer 8

I am in to that kind of stuff too, I want to be an enviromentalist when i'm older. Try here: http://www.wwf.ca
