ocean conveyor belt

ocean conveyor belt? what on earth is that?

• the great ocean conveyor belt is the earth’s circulatory system. it is the driving force behind global weather patterns, which as a result, all life is sustained

• through heat and moisture exchanges, the conveyor warms the air in upper latitudes while delivering fresh water across the globe

• the conveyor belt generates power comparable to one million nuclear power plants

• one cycle of the great ocean conveyor belt takes about 1000 years

• without the great ocean conveyor belt, some scientists believe that the northern hemispheres would plunge into a mini ice age. This last occurred 13,000 years ago

global ocean surface currents


because earth is round, it is heated unevenly by sunlight

the equator is much hotter than the poles because light from the sun strikes earth more directly at the equator at higher latitudes the sun’s energy striking earth is spread over a larger area

solar heating is one element or subsystem of the global system

thermohaline circulation or meridional overturning circulation is another terms for ocean conveyor belt

the most dramatic ways in which we experience Earth's climate - monsoons, drought, cold snaps, and storms - come from the sky. but climate is as much a product of the sea as the sky: whatever happens to one affects the other i.e. fishermen & sports fishing



the global oceanic conveyor belt

• at the equator, the sun warms surface waters and triggers evaporation. as water evaporates, the tropical waters get saltier
• the warm, salty water is carried northward along the east coast of the united States by the gulf stream, a tributary of the conveyor, and then over towards europe
• as it travels, this current releases a huge amount of heat to the atmosphere in the north atlantic

• as this great volume of water becomes colder and denser, it plunges downward to the ocean depths (salty, cold water is denser than fresher, warm water)
• as cold, salty water sinks in the north atlantic, it pulls warm, salty tropical waters northward to replace the sinking colder waters

• this massive plunge of water drives the ocean's "conveyor belt," sending deep currents traveling along the ocean bottom to surface elsewhere around the world. eventually these currents resurface in the atlantic
  

game on! lets fish..

revolutionize..

is climate change truly occurring?

Yes! In February 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported to the United Nations that the Earth’s climate system is undoubtedly getting warmer

According to the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington, the average annual temperature in the Pacific Northwest rose by 1.5° F in the 20th century and is expected to rise 0.5° F per decade in the first half of the 21st century


The graph below shows the global annual temperature change since 1880. Even with variation over the years, the general trend is clearly upward. Some cooler temperatures in recent years have prompted people to ask if there is now a global cooling trend, but as the graph shows, even several years of cooling doesn’t mean a long-term warming trend is over


The land-ocean temperature index combines data on air temperatures over land with data on sea surface temperatures. (“Mean” is the midpoint between the highest and lowest.) The black line shows the annual changes; the red line tracks 5-year periods. Source: NASA Goddard institute for Space Studies (January 11, 2008)

Although specific, individual events can’t be directly linked to global warming, the IPCC has noted many indications of climate change around the world:

• Retreating mountain glaciers on all continents

• Thinning ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctic

• Rising sea level – about 6-7 inches in the 20th century

• More frequent heavy precipitation events (rainstorms, floods or snowstorms) in many areas

• More intense and longer droughts over wider areas, especially in the tropics and subtropics

lets fish? game on??
ask ourselves.. what could we do in order to save.. 4W
world? water? weather? wrongdoer? & ...
who? where? when? what?
