This year, the oceans warmed up to record values

According to climatologists at the University of Hawaii, in the summer of 2014 the highest average temperatures were observed at sea surfaces throughout history. These figures even broke a record, which was installed in 1988. Between 2000 and 2013, sea ​​surface temperature stopped despite that the concentration of greenhouse gases has increased. However scientists found that in mid-spring of this year, global warming ocean again began to gain momentum. Sea temperature surfaces began to grow particularly rapidly in the extratropical part Pacific Ocean in the North at the beginning of this year. After a couple months, towards the end of spring, westerly winds pushed a large the amount of warm water that was previously in western parts of the ocean, to the equator and to the eastern part of the ocean. So, warm water spread along the North American coast, thereby releasing a large amount of heat into the atmosphere. Record greenhouse gas emissions and excessively weak trade winds in the North Pacific that usually cool the sea surface, caused a further rise in water temperature. Warm water now spreads toward Alaska. Scientists say a fourteen-year break in ocean warming came up by the end.
