Title ‘We’re changing the clouds.’ An unintended test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Science Media type Web Duration/Length/Size Circa 1174 words Country/Territory United States Date 2/08/23 Description The Atlantic Ocean is running a fever. Waters off Florida have become a hot tub, bleaching the third-largest barrier reef in the world. Off the coast of Ireland, extreme heat was implicated in the mass death of seabirds. For years, the north Atlantic was warming more slowly than other parts of the world. But now it has caught up, and then some. Last month, the sea surface there surged to a record 25°C—nearly 1°C warmer than the previous high, set in 2020—and temperatures haven’t even peaked yet. “This year it’s been crazy,” says Tianle Yuan, an atmospheric physicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
