Future warming of ocean waters off the Northeastern US may be greater and occur at an even faster rate than previously projected, new research suggests. These findings, based on output from four global climate models of varying ocean and atmospheric resolution, indicate that ocean temperature in the US Northeast Shelf is projected to warm twice as fast as previously projected and almost three times faster than the global average.
