What Is The Role Of The Global Climate And Atmosphere?

An entire new world, different from our own exists beneath the surface of our oceans. This life is full of color, shapes, sizes, wonder, and even darkness. Much of this life has yet to be explored but we still know that beneath the waves exist the most beautiful creatures and the most bizarre. Magical areas such as the coral reef and mysterious areas such as the depths of the ocean are homes to over 700,000 species that live in the ocean. This includes the eighty percent of the ocean that has yet to be explored. Even though there may be separate oceans on this planet, they are still interconnected by a body of salt water. No area of the ocean is the same, which brings us to the wonderful fact that so many different species are able to flourish

The sea is often perceived as a whole other world that science sometimes struggle to explain, its depths

In this episode of the BBC documentary series, “The Blue Planet: Open Ocean,” we were able to explore the abundance and complications of the open ocean, the pelagic zone. Over 60% of our planet is covered by the ocean, yet the deep sea is largely still unknown. We know more about the moon than what we know about the deep ocean. The temperature and the level of sunlight decrease as the depth increases. The ocean may appear uniform from the surface, but there is several layers to the ocean. The pelagic zone contains the most area of the open ocean. The zone includes everything except for the coastal waters and the sea floor. However, even within this area, there are variation since some part is lifeless with very little amount of organisms and

The Sublittoral is the region of the ocean below the low tide limit and extends all the way to the edge of the continental shelf. This zone is submerged permanently despite the turn of the tides and the intra/interspecific competition for space is extreme. Organisms in this region rarely experience intense sun or air exposure and organisms such as blue

One law states that the greater the surface area that an objects has, the greater the temperature it has. Another law states that the greater the temperature, the shorter the wavelength an object has.

Within explicit texts, "Into the Deep," by Spencer Kayden moreover including, "What's Down There," by Mackenzie Carro, there is a ubiquitous theme concerning the correspondence between humankind and the subterrene ocean. It investigates how we are achieving to find life submerged in the sea using modern technology. It explains that we continue to discover multiple forms of life underneath the shores using research and submersibles. Because of this detail and additional ideas pointed out in both pieces, the two are more comparable than expected.

The off-shore marine environment changes intensively with the change in the ocean depth. There are three distinctive zones that can be classified along the depth which is the Epipelagic which extends from the sea surface to a depth of 200 meters, the mesopelagic which extends from a depth of 200 meters to a depth of a 1000 meters and then the Deep sea which extends from a depth of a 1000 meters to the sea floor (Castro & Huber, 2010). The Deep sea can then be divided into a further three zones (Figure 01) Bathypelagic which extends from a depth of a 1000 meters to 4000 meters, Abyssopelagic which extends from a depth of 4000 meters to 6000 meters and then the Hadopelagic which extends which extends from a depth of 6000 meters to the sea floor (Castro & Huber, 2010).

The study includes the first detailed reconstruction of the Southern Ocean density of the period

The ocean is one of, if not, the largest biome on earth. There are more than one million species of marine life. Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is our planet’s largest habitat, containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This area holds the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth. Like lakes, oceans are subdivided into separate zones: intertidal, pelagic, abyssal, and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The intertidal zone is the region along the shoreline between average low tide and average high tide. In other words, this region goes through cycles of submergence and exposure to air. Animals in this zone must be able to survive the extended periods

The ocean's surface waters are separated from colder, deeper water by a thermocline. The upwelling of cold waters, along the equator in the eastern half of the pacific basin, can be blocked when sea level is high, resulting in warm events. When sea levels are low the thermocline tends to be shallow, allowing upwelling motions to bring cold water to the surface, resulting in cold conditions. How it's measured is by devices used to track decadal variability and climate patterns which includes thermometers, rain gauges, and stream gauges. Sea surfaces temperature is important in tracking ENSO and other ocean oscillations. This can be measured by the distance

This article focuses on how some international scientist’s measurement and analysis the ocean heat using past and present tools. Such as weather and climate data, the Global Temperature-Salinity reports, the World Ocean Database, the Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) dataset, and the Global Argo Data Repository of ocean temperatures. Sea surface temperatures in our Global Climate Reports. The study shows the importance of the ocean and the changes in heat distribution between the ocean basins are important for understanding future climate change.

had evaded recognition until now indicates just how little we still know about the Earth's ancient marine ecosystem," said Kenshu Shimada, the lead

The few facts that are known about the ocean and its processes are not a part of common knowledge. This is due to the lack of information that is advertised to the public, lack of

2a) reveals that the winter-to-winter recurrence of SST anomalies is more widespread in the global ocean (reddish shades) than previously thought 17. It is estimated that 54% of the oceanic area (spanning 65N-65S and 0-360) exhibits a positive correlation difference of >0.0 (37% if r > 0.1). We have already mentioned that a positive difference between 12 and 6 months lag correlation could be considered as a significant indication of re-emergence (red-noise curve in Fig 1a). Further, the spatial distribution of the difference in SSTA lag correlation spreads a wide domain compared to the global area. Therefore, larger areas with any positive difference cannot be neglected as it can influence the overlying atmosphere quite significantly.
