Ocean Absorbs Heat Faster
全球海洋吸收热量大幅增加
The conclusion of a new study finds that Earth’s oceans now absorb heat at twice the rate they did 18 years ago.
最新研究发现:全球海洋现吸收热量的速率是18年前的两倍。
Researchers also reported online January 18 in Nature Climate Change, around half of ocean heat uptake since 1865 has taken place since 1997.
1月18日科研人员在《自然气候变化》一文中称,据估计,自1865年来全球海洋所吸收的总热能,有一半是从1997年以后才开始累积的。
The researchers gathered 150 years of ocean temperature data in order to get a better picture of heat uptake from surface to seabed.
为了更直观地了解海洋表面及海底所吸收的热量,研究人员还收集了150年来的海洋温度数据。
