Scientists have shown that the gigantic bubble of warm water in the southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, called the “drop”, is associated with Megazasha in Chile. This is reported in the article published in Journal of Climate.
Researchers conducted computer simulation to measure the physical characteristics of the “drops”, which was observed from 1979 to 2018, and found that water was 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than 40 years ago. This is about three times higher than the average temperature rise of the sea surface.
It is believed that increasing global temperature caused by anthropogenic burning fossil fuels, partly causes an increase in the size of a warm “drop”, which is now approximately equal to Australia. This “drop” differs from other similar phenomena durability, which is also explained by climate change. According to national environmental information centers, the ocean absorbs more than 90 percent of excess heat caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The “drop” itself highlights the heat flowing into the atmosphere, which is then transferred to the air masses for a large distance.
It turned out that it was the “drop” it was the reason for the appearance of a high pressure area over Chile, which contributed to a decrease in the amount of precipitation and strengthened hot and arid weather conditions in the country. Long drought, which lasts for several years, led to the death of tens of thousands of farm animals and the depletion of water resources. Chilean authorities stated that a catastrophic drought is a sign of a climate crisis. The Lace Range of Andes lost snow covers, and the reservoir level in the capital Santiago has greatly decreased.
