The ocean-air heat exchange results in changes in the atmospheric steering flow and pressure systems in the Atlantic as well. With warm water now sitting on the surface of the entire Tropical Pacific Ocean – a particularly wide swath of the ocean basin – Pacific Ocean temperatures have been rising fast.īut the effects of El Niño are not confined to the Pacific Ocean. This marked the beginning of the warm phase called El Niño. But this spring, subsurface heat started propagating eastward across the Pacific Ocean and reached the surface. During that time, heat piled up in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean near Indonesia. (WFLA)įor the past three years, Earth has been in a rare prolonged La Niña event. In the case of this year, there are many factors, but the biggest factor is the change from La Niña to El Niño in the Tropical Pacific Ocean – a natural cycle that has global implications. Ocean temperatures in any given region are the result of complex interactions between ocean currents, weather, climate oscillations and longer-term climate trends. In other words, a coincidence of natural factors piled on top of the steady trend of human-caused global heating. Instead, it is much more probable to be a compounding coalescence of various factors – some natural and some human-caused. Luckily, climate scientists say the answer is likely no. In the North Atlantic Ocean - which was already way above record levels - temperatures have strikingly shot directly upward over the past two weeks.Ī shocking visual shared on Twitter earlier this month is prompting many to ask whether this recent surge is evidence that human-caused heating has propelled the climate past a tipping point. This is happening across the huge expanse of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Sea surface temperatures in June are so far above record territory it is being deemed almost statistically impossible in a climate without global heating.
( WFLA) - Global oceans are so hot right now, scientists all around the world are struggling to explain the phenomenon.
