태평양에 형성된 거대 해양열파가 향후 수주 및 수개월에 걸쳐 전 지구적 기상에 연쇄적 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 이는 필리핀에서 페루, 하와이와 캘리포니아까지 광범위한 지역을 덮고 있으며, 태풍 바비와 미국 서부 폭염, 캘리포니아 해수면 상승 등 다양한 기상 현상을 야기할 수 있다.
A massive marine heat wave and the formation of El Niño have led to widespread starvation and death among seabirds along the California coast. Scientists are observing unprecedented numbers of emaciated birds, with species like brown pelicans and common murres struggling to find food as usual prey sources are depleted.
A severe marine heat wave, exacerbated by the formation of El Niño, is causing widespread starvation and death among seabirds along the California coast. Scientists are observing unprecedented numbers of emaciated birds, with species like pelicans and cormorants succumbing rapidly due to a lack of nutrient-rich prey.
Scientists and volunteers in San Diego are finding numerous dead seabirds, including pelicans, loons, and grebes, due to a massive marine heat wave off California's coast. Record ocean temperatures have reduced prey, and the recently formed El Nino could worsen the die-off, impacting marine food webs.
A prolonged marine heat wave is causing a devastating toll on seabirds along California's coast, with scientists documenting alarming numbers of deaths due to starvation. Record ocean temperatures are pushing vital food sources offshore, leading to emaciated birds and fears that conditions could worsen with the formation of El Niño.
