Woods Hole: Evidence of Climate Change in the North Atlantic can be Seen in the Deep Ocean, Study Finds
Evidence of Climate Change in the North Atlantic can be Seen in the Deep Ocean, Study FindsNovember 17, 2023
Woods Hole, Mass. –Evidence of climate change in the North Atlantic during the last 1,000 years can be seen in the deep ocean, according to a newly published paper led by researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and University College London.
The paper, “Surface climate signals transmitted rapidly to deep North Atlantic throughout last millennium,” published in Science, presents records from North Atlantic sediments that agree with observations of recent surface and deep ocean warming and freshening.
The scientists’ data also show a connection between the surface and the deep ocean throughout the last 1,200 years. This time period includes climate oscillations such as the warm Medieval Climate Anomaly (around 850-1250 Common Era, CE) and the cold Little Ice Age spanning around 1400-1850 CE], as well as modern warming.
“Our data provide strong support for the idea that the overflows have consistently transferred surface climate changes to the deep ocean throughout the past 1,200 years,” said article lead author Wanyi Lu, a post-doctoral scientist at WHOI.
