Posted on 25 Apr, 2011 12:26 PMGlobal equatorial sea-surface temperatures over the last 150,000 years: An update from foraminiferal elemental analysis – A paper in Current Science
Posted on 25 Apr, 2011 10:21 AMSolar insolation changes are amongst various factors that affect sea-surface temperature, which in turn modulate global climate. Out of all the oceanic regions, equatorial region receives the maximum solar insolation and thus is the locale for the warmest waters. However, how the equatorial sea-surface temperature affects global climate, is still not clear.
