Brain Coral Record Helps Correlate Human Warming Effects with Atmospheric Instability Phenomenon
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution researchers recently used a Bahamas brain coral to reconstruct a 218-year-long temperature record showing the long-term behavior of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a large-scale atmospheric pressure variation. The scientists believe that the resulting knowledge of the past behavior of the NAO in response to global temperature changes can help predict [...]
