Extreme weather events and sea level rise are increasing, intensified by a warming ocean. Understanding heat in the ocean can help better predict extreme weather and long-term climate shifts. A network of robotic instruments called Argo is helping scientists track warming beneath the surface and it’s showing us the ocean's heat content is increasing steeply. This video shares just how much the ocean is warming, and how the Argo program needs more support to continue to give society the full picture of ocean warming.
