Research links solar activity to ocean climates

A Chinese study has found that solar activity not only affects Earth's surface temperatures but also plays a role in the climate changes of deep ocean layers. The results indicated that the 11-year solar cycle significantly influences the volume of water mass in the subsurface layers of the North Pacific Ocean, where increased solar activity leads to a weakening of eastern semi-tropical water formation, typically one to two years after the solar activity peak. Higher solar activity causes a reduction in heat loss from the ocean, which limits the deepening of the mixed layer and impacts long-term climate fluctuations, sometimes amplified by long-term natural variations in the Atlantic Ocean. The findings suggest the existence of a new mechanism that can be integrated into climate predictions for the coming decade.
