The collapse would also result in widespread cooling throughout the North Atlantic and Europe (though this would be somewhat mitigated by global warming), increased sea ice in the North Atlantic, stronger North Atlantic storms, and reduced river flow as well as reduced crop productivity in Europe. ]]> 2019-04-12 17:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/scarbia4508/18v0i75n1kbw/wish/351245507 scardone1980 https://padlet.com/scarbia4508/18v0i75n1kbw/wish/351250151 Three independent analyses show that the amount of heat stored in the ocean has increased substantially since the 1950s.

These regions don't mix except in certain areas, like near the polar oceans. Here, the colder surface water also gets saltier due to evaporation or sea ice formation. Within these regions, the surface water becomes dense enough to sink to the ocean depths. This pumping of surface water into the deep ocean forces deep water to move horizontally until it can find an area where it can rise back to the surface and close the circulation.]]> 2019-04-15 00:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/scarbia4508/18v0i75n1kbw/wish/351524335 scarbia4508 https://padlet.com/scarbia4508/18v0i75n1kbw/wish/351530835 Studies suggest that, alongside the global anomalies listed before, in North America warmer water will build up along the U.S. coast that can fuel sea level rise and destructive storms.]]> 2019-04-15 01:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/scarbia4508/18v0i75n1kbw/wish/351530835
