Question
Describe one (1) way that scientists use the ocean to monitor climate change. Then, examine the overall impact of a warmer ocean on the climate.
Describe the overall manner in which climate change affects hurricanes, storms, and sea level. Then, explain the overall physical impact that this change will have on coastal communities.
Describe the major interactions between the atmosphere and the surface ocean water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean under “normal” conditions. Next, describe the changes that occur in both the atmosphere and the underlying ocean during an El Niño event. (Note: Be sure to include the changes of atmospheric convection, warm surface ocean water, and the cold deep ocean water in your description. List a specific region that is impacted negatively by an El Niño event.)
Explanation / Answer
http://www.utdallas.edu/~pujana/latin/PDFS/Lecture%2016-%20El%20Nino.pdf the above link discuss about the EL NINO and LA NINA effect .INDIA is a region that is impacted negatively by EL NINO.As INDIA depends heavily on agriculture,and agriculture depends heavily on MONSOON rains,MONSSON rain is very important for INDIAN economy.But EL NINO results in deficit monsoon,which affects INDIA negatively.
overall impact of warmer ocean on climate change is,HURRICANES,cyclones,flass floods will become more intense as warmer ocean means more and more supply of water vapour into atmosphere.
