Earth's temperature tends to heat up unevenly

The average temperature of the ocean has decreased slightly between 2003 and 2005, after more than a decade of warming, the US Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study. According to NOAA, the warming of the Earth's surface is not stable.

The 760 m deep seawater temperature studies showed that during the period from 1993 to 2003, the average temperature at this depth was 0.089 degrees Celsius, but during 2003-2005, the average temperature However, the average temperature of the ocean is still higher than the average temperature in the 1980s of the last century.

These findings by US scientists show there are conflicts in the relationship between ocean temperatures and sea level changes. Colder temperatures will curb thawing, the main cause of sea level change. However, the sea level indicators for the period 2003-2005 show that the sea level has risen, while the average temperature of the ocean during this period has fallen to a record level in decades.

According to NOAA, US scientists are continuing to monitor this phenomenon and in 2006 alone, the United States invested nearly $ 3 billion in scientific equipment to study the ocean atmosphere.
