Distribution of ocean heat uptake and its implications for sea level and climate change

海平面和海洋温度的上升为气候系统的长期变暖提供了重要证据。该项目将调查海洋吸收热量的垂直分布的地理变化以及对海平面变化的影响，包括了解物理机制和人类活动及其他自然外部和内部因素的作用。预期成果将有助于对未来变暖和海平面上升预测的可能性施加更严格的限制，并与解决支持澳大利亚气候变化政策的关键问题所需的科学成果相一致。

Increasing sea levels and ocean temperatures provide critical evidence of long term warming of the climate system. This project will investigate geographical changes in the vertical distribution of heat uptake by the ocean and contribution to sea level changes, including understanding of physical mechanisms and the role of human activity and other natural external and internal factors. The expected outcomes will contribute to place more rigorous constraints on the likelihood of future warming and sea level rise projections, and are aligned with scientific deliverables required to address key questions in support of Australia’s climate change policy.
