Korea's surrounding seas are warming at a rate twice as fast as the global average, with a sharp increase in sea surface temperatures over the past 10 years. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on the 3rd, the sea surface temperature around Korea rose 0.87 degrees Celsius from 2012 to 2021, which is 2.02 times the global average of 0.43 degrees. The NOAA has been monitoring global sea surface temperatures since 1981 and released the data through its official website. The sea surface temperature around Korea has been rising steadily, with an average annual increase of 0.083 degrees over the past 10 years. In particular, the sea surface temperature in 2021 was 1.18 degrees higher than the average from 1981 to 2010. The East Sea, which is a marginal sea located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, showed a significant increase in sea surface temperature. The sea surface temperature in the East Sea rose 1.04 degrees over the past 10 years, which is 2.3 times the global average. The Yellow Sea and the East China Sea also showed a rapid increase in sea surface temperature. The Yellow Sea had an average annual increase of 0.097 degrees, and the East China Sea had an average annual increase of 0.092 degrees. The rapid warming of the seas around Korea is believed to be caused by climate change and the influence of the Pacific Ocean. The NOAA stated that the increase in sea surface temperature is having a significant impact on marine ecosystems and fisheries. The organization emphasized the need for continuous monitoring and research on sea surface temperature to better understand the impacts of climate change. The data released by the NOAA can be used as basic data for research on marine ecosystems and fisheries in Korea. The Korean government and research institutions are expected to use the data to develop strategies for adapting to climate change and managing marine resources. The NOAA's data on sea surface temperatures can be accessed through its official website.
