Projected coral bleaching in response to future sea surface temperature rises and the uncertainties among climate models

Historical Remotely Sensed Sea Surface Temperature Data for Prediction of Coral Bleaching Event in Kish Island, the Persian Gulf

The capability of Degree Heating Weeks index (DHWs) was examined for prediction of bleaching events in the coral reef communities of the Kish Island located in the north of the Persian Gulf. In doing so, weekly Sea Surface Temperature (SST) values (in 1°×1° spatial resolution) prepared by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with documented bleaching events, such...

The Relation among Sea Ice, Surface Temperature, and Atmospheric Circulation in Simulations of Future Climate

Observations document substantial 20-40 year trends in the past several decades in the Arctic. Studies show sea ice thickness and extent have declined, air temperature has increased, and the temperature and salinity of the upper ocean have increased (e.g., see Serreze et al., 2000). At the same time, we have seen a weakening of the tropospheric anticyclone over the Beaufort Sea that can be asso...

Projected future climate change and Baltic Sea ecosystem management

Climate change is likely to have large effects on the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Simulations indicate 2-4 °C warming and 50-80 % decrease in ice cover by 2100. Precipitation may increase ~30 % in the north, causing increased land runoff of allochthonous organic matter (AOM) and organic pollutants and decreased salinity. Coupled physical-biogeochemical models indicate that, in the south, bottom-water...
