It may sparkle in the sun, but the ocean's surface is a dynamic thermometer for our planet. The sea surface temperature (SST) is measured by satellites and buoys in the ocean, to give the most ...
Hurricanes feed off of warm ocean waters. What happens then when that ocean heat is made 400 times more likely due to human-caused climate change? You get record-shattering Hurricane Beryl. Unusually ...
NORFOLK, Va. — While the coastal waters around Hampton Roads and the Mid-Atlantic shores are expectedly chilly right now, other parts of the Atlantic Ocean are far from normal. Sea surface ...
The sea off New England, already warming faster than most of the world's oceans, had one of its hottest years on record in 2023. The Gulf of Maine, which abuts New England and Canada, had an annual ...
The sea surface temperature in the Fijian archipelago in the southwestern Pacific is now at its maximum for more than 600 years. This finding is the result of an international research team's ...
The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1 and it’s expected to be a busy one. Colorado State University’s hurricane outlook calls for 23 named storms, 11 of which will become hurricanes, and five ...
JACKSONVILLE, FL – A dramatic flip-flop in sea surface temperature that had never been seen before in part of the Atlantic Ocean has developed which may change the outcome of what was expected to be a ...
As global temperatures rise, so do sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and that’s having a direct impact on hurricane activity. Hurricanes are essentially heat engines, fueled by the warmth of the ocean.
