Pacific Ocean Warming Is Inverting Water Age Patterns, Scientists Find
Original: The Pacific Ocean Is Doing Something Weird as It Warms: Young Water Gets Older, And Old Water Gets Younger
The Pacific Ocean is undergoing an unusual change as it warms: surface waters classed as young are aging, while deeper, older waters are growing younger, according to a recent report on the ocean's shifting circulation. The finding suggests warming is altering how water masses mix and move through the Pacific, with possible implications for carbon and heat storage in the world's largest ocean.
Why now: New reporting on unexpected changes in Pacific water circulation linked to ocean warming is drawing attention among science and climate readers.
