2004 DEC 28 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A NASA study suggests that changing winds and currents in the Indian Ocean during the 1990s contributed to the observed warming of the ocean during that period.
The findings, published in the December 2004 issue of Geophysical Research Letters, have potential implications for long-term regional climate variability.
"Establishing this correlation provides an important missing piece to the global ocean-warming puzzle and provides vital information for regional governments and climate modelers," said Dr. Tong Lee, study author and researcher at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "These ...
