The oceans play an important role in regulating our climate and its change by absorbing heat and carbon. In the future, the imprint of rising atmospheric temperatures on ocean warming will likely dominate that of changes in ocean circulation. This is despite having been identified and modelled as a key factor over the past 60 years.
