Marine plankton brighten clouds over Southern Ocean

ScienceDaily: Nobody knows what our skies looked like before fossil fuel burning began; today, about half the cloud droplets in Northern Hemisphere skies formed around particles of pollution. Cloudy skies help regulate our planet's climate, and yet the answers to many fundamental questions about cloud formation remain hazy. New research led by the University of Washington and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory suggest tiny ocean life in vast stretches of the Southern Ocean play a significant role in generating...

Arctic Ocean acidifies, threaten food web and major fisheries
2015-07-14 17:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: One byproduct of rising carbon-dioxide levels is increasing ocean acidity -- a phenomenon that scientists have termed an existential threat to marine life. The waters of the Arctic and the far-north Pacific are particularly prone to acidification as a result of several natural factors, so scientists regard the region as the proverbial canary in the coal mine for the rest of the world's oceans. A new study shows that within just fifteen years these waters may be too acidic for a range of marine animals...
Deeper Ocean Waters Absorbed Much Excess Atmospheric Heat
2015-07-10 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environment 360: The waters of the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean warmed significantly from 2003 to 2012, but most of the heat is being stored at depth rather than near the surface, NASA researchers explained this week in the journal Science. The findings shed light on mechanisms behind the so-called global warming "hiatus," in which air temperatures appeared to rise more slowly from 2003 to 2012. Warming in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean during that period started to appear at roughly 32 feet below the surface,...
