Climatologists' mathematical models show that global warming will slow down and the temperature will stabilize in the next ten years. Scientists associate this climate behavior with the ocean's absorption capacity.
Gerald Meel (National University Center for Atmospheric Research, USA) and his colleagues have developed five options for the future of our planet based on a computer model that takes into account the interaction between the atmosphere, ocean and land.
The results of the study showed that by the end of the century, the air temperature will increase by several degrees, but not gradually, but with interruptions. These interruptions in the absence of temperature increase are associated with the absorption of additional heat by the ocean.
The researchers showed that during the breaks, huge layers of ocean water at depths of 300 meters and below will warm up 20% more than usual, while smaller bodies of water and the upper layers will warm up less.
During these periods, surface water temperatures will decrease in the tropical Pacific Ocean and increase in more northern latitudes, much like El Niño.
