- 2New method finds ocean warming gaps versus climate models▼How much are the world's oceans warming? New method reveals double-digit percentage gaps from climate models
Researchers have introduced a new method for measuring how quickly the world's oceans are warming, and the results point to double-digit percentage differences compared with what established climate models predicted. The findings suggest current simulations may be underestimating or misestimating the rate of ocean heat uptake, a key factor in projecting sea level rise and global temperature changes.
- 3Three swimmers rescued off Ocean City amid dangerous rip currents▼3 swimmers rescued in Ocean City as storm damage created "dangerous rip currents"
Three swimmers were rescued in Ocean City after storm damage created dangerous rip currents along the coast.
