Warming of Atlantic Ocean dramatically increased Pacific winds study
2014-08-04 17:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The rapid warming of the worlds oceans, caused by climate change, is increasing record-breaking levels of Pacific Equatorial trade winds, new research has found. Scientists from University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the University of Hawaii have shed some light on the forces at work behind Pacific trade wind, which are currently at their highest level ever recorded. These high trade winds have a global impact. They have been blamed for intensifying the severe droughts in California and...

Huge waves measured for first time in Arctic Ocean
2014-08-02 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hannah Hickey: As the climate warms and sea ice retreats, the North is changing. An ice-covered expanse now has a season of increasingly open water that is predicted to extend across the whole Arctic Ocean before the middle of this century. Storms thus have the potential to create Arctic swell - huge waves that could add a new and unpredictable element to the region. A University of Washington researcher made the first study of waves in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, and detected house-sized waves during a...

State Commission learns of threat from ocean acidifcation
2014-08-01 18:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
WLBZ: A special state commission began studying a problem that marine scientists say poses a real threat to Maine Friday. The problem is called ocean acidification. Scientists say increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, which are blamed for climate change, are also causing ocean water to become more acidic. And researchers say Maine shellfish, such as oysters, clams and mussels, are especially vulnerable. At Mook Sea Farms in Walpole, owner Bill Mook says he has seen a change in the water...
