Long-term Temperature Change in the Southern Ocean - Perspectives on Ocean Science

The ocean is a critical component of the earth's climate system, storing and transferring heat in ways that are not yet completely understood. Join Scripps Oceanography physical oceanographer Sarah Gille as she describes how she and her colleagues are assessing temperature change in the ocean, exploring mechanisms that might be responsible for observed changes, and grappling with the implications of ocean warming for global climate change.
