Important state variables measured for parcels of water in the ocean are therefore temperature, which is related to the heat content, salinity, which is related to the amount of dissolved matter ...

Scientists have calculated the water temperature at which tiger sharks are most active and abundant. They say the sharks, which are second only to great whites in attacking people, prefer a balmy 22C.

10. The temperatures surpassed even those of 2023, which themselves represented a marked uptick over any previous years on record. Each of the two main metrics for ocean temperature hit a record ...

A new study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences has found that ocean warming in 2024 has led to new record high temperatures. The ocean is the hottest it has ever been recorded by humans ...

More information: Sea Surface Temperatures and Deeper Water Temperatures Reached a New Record High in 2024, Advances in Atmospheric Sciences (2025). DOI: 10.1007/s00376-025-4541-3 Provided by ...

water chemistry, temperature, light and more. With SOARS, scientists are understanding how human activities are changing the chemistry of the ocean and atmosphere, and how this could impact global ...

Each of these changes affect marine wildlife. Warming ocean temperatures can lead to coral bleaching - the sudden die-off of large parts of coral reefs - as well as cause animals such as fish to seek ...

It has revealed that - if global temperatures increase to levels predicted - the ocean will not be able to provide what is currently Earth's largest long-term carbon store. One third of the carbon ...

Surface ocean temperatures in waters around the Japanese archipelago in the first half of this year were the highest since 1982, when records were first tracked, data from the Japan Meteorological ...

The surface ocean temperatures in waters near the Japanese archipelago reached a record high from June to February for the third consecutive year, negatively impacting the fisheries and ...
