The southern ocean began to absorb less carbonic gas from an atmosphere, than earlier, informs BBC News.
As it became known to scientists, for last 24 years the amount of carbonic gas absorbed by ocean has not changed, while the amount of its emission has grown for 40 percent. It means, that in an atmosphere the quantity of excessive CO2 increases, that in turn lead to acceleration of process of global warming. This effect was expected by scientists, however it has attacked 40 years before anticipated term.
The reason of decrease in volumes of carbonic gas absorbed by ocean, in opinion of scientists, became the dizziness which has increased from 1958. The exhaustion of supplies of ozone in the top layers of an atmosphere and recent change of a climate because of which tropics began to get warm more strongly, and Southern ocean - is weaker, have led to change of circulation of atmospheric mass in region, as has caused strengthening winds.
The most part of the carbonic gas absorbed by ocean is on the big depth, however because of increase in frivolity ocean waters began to mix up more strongly. As a result on the surface stratums of water were sated with carbonic gas and cannot absorb more it from an atmosphere.
Half of the carbonic gas allocated in an atmosphere of the Earth, remains in it. Other half is absorbed by world ocean and terrestrial biosphere. From all gas absorbed by ocean on a share of Southern ocean it is about 15 percent.
