We still do not know much about our oceans!
However, on a daily basis we are inundated with the demagoguery of the global warming hoax/climate change religion! The article below also repeats this demagoguery!
We are told daily that if the global surface temperatures increase by 1.5 degree Celsius we are doomed! Laughable!
"... Scientists estimate about 25 to 30 percent [What! I bet the uncertainty is even larger!] of all carbon released into the atmosphere by both human and natural sources is absorbed by the ocean.
“But there’s a lot of uncertainty in that number,” says Ryan Woosley, a marine chemist and a principal research scientist in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) at MIT. Different parts of the ocean take in different amounts of carbon depending on many factors, such as the season and the amount of mixing from storms. Current models of the carbon cycle don’t adequately capture this variation. ...
To close the gap, Woosley and a team of other MIT scientists developed a research proposal for the MIT Climate Grand Challenges competition — an Institute-wide campaign to catalyze and fund innovative research addressing the climate crisis. The team's proposal, “Ocean Vital Signs,” involves sending a fleet of sailing drones to cruise the oceans taking detailed measurements of how much carbon the ocean is really absorbing. Those data would be used to improve the precision of global carbon cycle models and improve researchers’ ability to verify emissions reductions claimed by countries. ...
Today, data on the flux of carbon dioxide between the air and the oceans are collected in a piecemeal way [a euphemism]. Research ships intermittently cruise out to gather data. Some commercial ships are also fitted with sensors. But these present a limited view of the entire ocean, and include biases. For instance, commercial ships usually avoid storms, which can increase the turnover of water exposed to the atmosphere and cause a substantial increase in the amount of carbon absorbed by the ocean."
