Tracking Aftermath From #HurricaneErin on #Ocean
#Meteorologists piece together aftereffects in #hurricane’s path, and look ahead to future storms.
One key signature is temperature. Ocean is layered like a cake, with warm water on top and cold water below. #Hurricanes churn those layers, bringing cooler water to surface. Because hurricanes feed on heat, this cooling effect could weaken future storms in area, said Greg Foltz, #oceanographer at #NOAA

'We don't really consider it low probability anymore': Collapse of key #Atlantic current could have catastrophic impacts, says #oceanographer Stefan Rahmstorf
he Atlantic #Ocean's most vital ocean current (#AMOC), which includes the #GulfStream, acts as a planetary conveyor belt bringing nutrients, oxygen and heat north from tropical waters, while moving colder water south, is showing troubling signs of reaching a disastrous tipping point.

“It’s basically just sitting there, spinning around & it will very slowly #melt — as long as it stays there. What we don’t know is how quickly it will… come out of this,” said Alex Brearley, an #oceanographer & head of Open #Oceans research grp at the British #Antarctic Survey.

…#Iceberg #A23a is caught in a #TaylorColumn, a current that forms around seamounts. Standard flow diverges around the mount & creates a stagnant cylinder of fluids above it, slowly rotating the water counterclockwise.

Pioneering #geologist & #oceanographer Marie #Tharp changed our understanding of the #ocean.

When Tharp sought a #geology job at Columbia in 1948, #women couldn’t go on #research ships. […]

Back then, many #scientists still assumed […] . Tharp figured out how to use #data to create sketches of the ocean floor. Her hand-drawn #maps helped develop #plate #tectonic theory.

Skyrocketing #ocean temps have scientists scratching their heads, "it’s looking like it’s already June out there"
Oceans steadily warmed over decades, absorbing ~90% of extra heat humans have added to the atmosphere. “The oceans are our saviors, in a way,” says #oceanographer #FranciscoChavez of #MBARI “Things might be a lot worse in terms of #climate impacts, because a lot of that heat is not only kept at the surface, it’s taken to depths.”

Skyrocketing ocean temperatures have scientists scratching their heads

Shattered temperature records have grim implications for hurricane season.

I decided to become an #oceanographer because 30 years ago — as an undergraduate Philosophy major — I was chosen to go on an oceanographic research cruise.

Never underestimate the power of random events to change the course of one's life.
