"Unprecedented Ocean Heat Streak Continues, Baffling Climate Scientists"
The ocean has been breaking temperature records every day for over a year, with 2024 continuing the trend of surpassing previous records by significant margins. The global sea surface temperature reached a new monthly high last month, contributing to a sequence of climate records being broken. Scientists are investigating the specific physical processes behind these temperature records to improve climate models and predict future temperatures more accurately. The abnormally warm tropical Atlantic is also setting the stage for a busy hurricane season due to higher ocean temperatures providing more energy for stronger storms.
