According to two scientific studies at the University of Washington recently published a stretch of about 1,600 kilometers in the Pacific Ocean has warmed by several degrees and nobody seems to know what this phenomenon is due.
This "bubble" giant hot water is first observed in late 2013 and could be wreaking havoc on the climate. Some people believe there may be a relationship between the appearance of this "bubble" giant heat and mortaldad fish and other sea creatures that has been occurring in recent years in the North Pacific, although this relationship has not been established yet .
The following information comes from the New research from the University of Washington ...
"In the fall of 2013 and early 2014 we began to notice a large mass, almost circular water, which simply is not cooled as much as usual, so in the spring of 2014 was warmer than any previous record for that time of year, "says Nick Bond, a climate scientist at the Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, University of Washington, joint research center of the University of Washington and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA ).
Bond coined the term "bubble" in June in its monthly bulletin as Washington state climatologist.
Said the vast expanse of water, about 1600 kilometers long and 300 meters deep, had contributed to a mild winter in 2014 in the state of Washington and could indicate the arrival of warmer summer.
According to the Washington Post, scientists have no explanation for this phenomenon, which qualify as "totally new" ...
Scientists were amazed by the size and especially the enduring nature of the hot bubble. A NOAA researcher states that "when you see something like this that is brand new, you have the opportunity to learn things you never expected"
The map below is from the NOAA, and shows what this "bubble" giant seems ...
According to CBS News, ocean temperatures within this bubble has increased from 1-4 degrees Celsius above normal. This causes the winter air that crosses over the Pacific Ocean not cooled much as you would normally, leading to drier and warmer for the west coast of North America conditions.
As this happens, scientists are discovering that many marine animals die Pacific Ocean in record numbers, as we indicated in the following articles ...
One of the strange phenomena animal is happening in Japan, as published by the Japanese newspaper The Japan Times, this April 12 ...
In Japan, the media are talking about the recent discovery of 150 melon-headed dolphins on beaches. A similar incident occurred in only six days before the great earthquake and tsunami of 2011, which has fueled fears that the behavior of these dolphins indicate the repetition of a similar event, even without that relations both phenomena any scientific evidence.
Whatever the cause of this strange "strip" of warmer water in the Pacific, their presence may be having a much greater effect than it may seem at first glance.
If you can really establish a connection between their lives and the mass death of marine animals and whether it affects the brutal drought in areas of great economic importance as California, then, this simple strip of hot water is having devastating effects ...
