| Abstract |
Ecologists must understand how marine life responds to changing local conditions, rather than to overall global temperature rise. The ocean can turn on a dime. Temperature, pH, oxygen levels and salinity can vary drastically — across distances of centimetres and within time frames of minutes1–3. That’s the latest view being revealed by measurements from thousands of instruments anchored to shores or attached to floats, ocean gliders and ships. |
