Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Harvard University have long collected information from reputable scientific sources and organizations that have previously studied the temperature changes in the Pacific Ocean.
The experts also did their research, which helped them find that the Pacific Ocean floor has continued to cool in recent years. For this, a special computer model of ocean water circulation was created.
It turned out that during the 20th century, at depths of 1.8-2.6 km, the last changes took place. The exact cold snap temperature is unknown. Presumably, the values are between 0.02 and 0.08 ° C.
The Pacific Ocean became significantly colder for the first time during the Little Ice Age. Scientists believe that at the moment ocean cooling is a residual phenomenon of the Little Ice Age, since they can not find another explanation yet. Otherwise, many living organisms of the ocean are threatened with extinction or serious mutations in order to adapt to new living conditions.
