Sea temperature updates record high, 5 atomic bombs explode in the sea every second

We know that ' 2019 temperature is the second highest in the history of observations ', but newly found that '2019 sea temperature was the highest ever observed'. Experts warn that converting the elevated seawater temperature to the thermal energy of an atomic bomb would result in five atomic bombs being fired every day and night without a break.

'5 Hiroshima Bombs of Heat, Every Second': The World's Oceans Absorbed Record-Level Heat Last Year-VICE

Seawater temperatures have reached record temperatures in recent years, according to a team from oceanographer Lijing Cheng and others at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IPA) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences . Cheng has collaborated with 11 research institutes around the world to collect data from more than 3,800 marine buoys. From 1981 to 2019, the sea temperature at a depth of 0 to 2000m was investigated.

As a result, the sea temperature in 2019 was found to be about 0.075 degrees above the average of 1981 to 2010. It seems to be 'only 0.075 degrees' in the sense, but it takes about 228 zetajoules (zeta is 10 times the power of 21) to raise the seawater temperature to this level.

Mr. Cheng said, `` It seems to be almost 0 at 0.075 degrees, but if it is calculated for simplicity, the sea temperature rise in the past 25 years is equivalent to about 3.6 billion rounds when converted to the Hiroshima atomic bomb of 63 trillion Joules per round You're going to do that. ' Co-author John Abraham said, 'It's like having to drop about five atomic bombs every second without having to rest for 25 years. To make things a bit easier, all humans on earth have 100 hairs per person. It's the same as having a hairdryer and warming the sea for sleeplessness. '

The research team further points out that the fact that the oceans store so much heat energy has serious consequences. Ninety percent of the heat from global warming since 1970 has been absorbed by the ocean, and only less than 4% of the total heat and atmospheric temperature in human habitats has risen. And that. Nevertheless, there have already been serious fires around the world.

In 2019, it was reported that the largest number of fires ever occurred in the Amazon rainforest in South America.

In addition, Australia has experienced a record fire since the end of 2019, and even in 2020 there is no prospect of ending.

'The global warming we face is real and worsening, but it's just the tip of the iceberg compared to the disasters that humanity will experience in the future,' said Abraham. , Polar ice melts faster, sea levels rise faster, coupled with water swelling, and the warmer oceans release more water vapor into the atmosphere, reducing hurricanes and typhoons. The power will be stronger and the amount of precipitation will increase, 'he pointed out, suggesting that even more devastating and diverse damage will occur in the future.
