The obvious concern the paper raises is that climate change could disturb the existing pattern of winds and currents and shut down the hot spots, making the entire ocean less efficient as an absorber of carbon dioxide.
The Deep, one of the demos on offer at a recent PlayStation press event, enables the player to be (virtually) locked in a diving cage and sent into the ocean – less a game and more of an example of a tourist-style experience.
New York Magazine reported last week, prior to Bailey's report in the Australian, that an FBI analysis showed Zaharie had conducted a simulated flight to the southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane vanished along a similar route.
This resulted in a vertical model resolution in the upper ocean less than 2 m for the FLX91 and less than 1 m for the Baltic Sea cases.
Despite dire warnings about the dangers of carbon dioxide (C02) buildup in Earth's atmosphere, the phenomenon may harm some residents of the ocean less than others.
That's the conclusion of a new study, which finds that rising water temperatures will make perhaps 20% of the ocean less habitable for many fish and crabs by reducing available oxygen.
As shown in equation (1), when CO2 dissolves in water it forms a weak acid (H2CO3), dissociates to bicarbonate generating hydrogen ions (H+), which makes the ocean less basic (pH decreases).
