At the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, an international research group made use of computer model simulations to determine that climate change is changing the mechanics of surface ocean circulations, thereby making them turn out to be thinner and faster.

In the past, ocean carbon data was sparse, mostly gathered by ships. But the future of monitoring belongs to robot floats that deliver real-time data across vast oceans — even in the remote Antarctic Southern Ocean.

WCRP coordinates international climate science to address key research areas that are either too large or too complex to be tackled by a single nation, agency, or scientific discipline. Future Earth develops the knowledge and tools that government, communities, and companies need to meet the United Nations Sustainable...
