How much are the world's oceans warming? New method reveals double-digit percentage gaps from climate models
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0

Geodesy researchers at the University of Bonn are able to measure this and determine how much the oceans are warming. For individual ocean basins, their method has revealed significant deviations from model calculations—in some cases in the double-digit percentage range.
