They traveled thousands of miles on Atlantic currents and ended up above Norway with an unusual, but naturally cyclic, pulse of warm water, not as a direct result of overall warming climate. As Arctic waters are warming rapidly, and the pulses are predicted to grow as global climate change causes shifts in long-distance currents. The exotic creatures offer a preview of climate-induced changes already overtaking the oceans and land.

Researchers are seeing that tropical plankton were found in Norway and they moved thousands of miles on Atlantic currents, where it was unusually warm water as a outcome of total warming climate. Scientists are concerned that it may be a sign of global change because pulses are predicted to grow as global climate change it causes shifts in long-distance currents and the arctic waters are getting warm quickly. Researchers collect plankton by wondering if the exotic creatures are taking over the oceans and land by causing species and shift in ecology.

The plankton travel thousands of miles to seek warmer waters by using the arctic currents. Different species inhabit other temperatures, and their shells are spread throughout the ocean floor in a deep ooze going back millions of years; scientist can to there study about how these shells at the bottom of the ocean indicate there anlisis bout the plankton cycle across the arctic waters.

The Tropical plankton are following warm currents from the equator up to norway where they are being discoverd. Because there are not usally warm ocean currents that come off the coast of norway and the warm currents are moving more north than usaual and its alarming many scientist. Scientists collect samples of plankton br dragging a very fine fish net horizontally or diagonally to trap the plankton

Researchers believe that the tropical plankton got caught in a pulse of warm water and were swept up into the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream led the plankton to the arctic waters, but this isn't the first time this has occured. In the 1920s, 1930s, and 1950s warm water pulses around the Norwegian coast appeared, so to say that this occurence is a sign of Global Warming is debated between researchers. However, they have noted is that these warm water pulses are extending farther and farther north into the arctic waters, which leaves scientists concerned about whether or not the plankton migrated due to climate change or because of the natural anomilly of warm water. As for collecting samples, the Norwegian Polar Institute netted plankton from their research boat.

The natural cycle the researches are seeing is that they are traveling thousands of miles on Atlantic current and ended up above Norway with an unusual, but it's a natural cycle. Scientists are concerned about this weather because it's starting to effect the north arctic waters. Therefore the weathering is making it harder for the scientist to collect the plankton.

Radiolaria have recently been discovered to be living in the Arctic Ocean. They travelled thousands of miles on Atlantic currents and ended up above norway with an unusual, but naturally cyclic pulse of warm water. The problem is that Arctic waters are warming rapidly, and such pulses are predicted to grow as global climate change causes shifts in long-distance currents. Scientist believe that the exotic creatures offer a preview of future climate-induced changes. Scientist routinely analyze the deep ooze that coats the shells of the plankton in order to plot the swings in ocean temperatures in the past.

The plankton are following the stream of warm water up the Atlantic Current and ending up above Norway. The scientists study the shells of the plankton to track them and they will also try to find new species based on there shells.

The cycle scientists are seeing is tropical plankton are going and moving towards Norway in the Arctic ocean for warm waters. This makes scientists think the climate could be changing because if the plankton travel there for warmth means the water temperature and there environment is changing. Which is something they don't want to happen

the tropical plankton got caught up in an arctic water current then drained into the Arctic waters these tropical plankton might want to reproduce and kida destroy the food chain, scientists are wondering if there are some warm pulse of warmer waters will they want to migrate back to the tropical waters or will the adapt to there new environment and evolve and change.

Researchers are now finding plankton in Norway because they were in Arctic current waters. Scientists are concerned for global climate change, the water is getting warmer and the pulses are growing with it. Scientists are now collecting plankton by dragging fine nets diagonally.

Due to many reasons the warm currents have been moving north and this has caused the planktons to end up norway

The tropical plankton have traveled across the Atlantic in a surge of warm water. This could be a sign of climate change due to colder waters beginning to warm up, and plankton moving into them. Researchers collect plankton by using nets.

as the water in the north warms up its leading to the plankton being able to survive when theyre supposed to be in more tropic waters. researchers debate if this is climate change or just warm water surges

The plankton followed the warmer ocean currents to norway. Scientists believe that global warming is occurring causing these warmer surges to grow

Scientists have discovered tropical plankton moving to the Arctic Ocean, which is quite unorthodox. But it has also been discovered that these pulses of warm water are warming up the Arctic Ocean, which could be solid evidence of global warming. Plankton sampling nets are used to catch plankton.

Due to the process of climate changing in the water it heats up the planktons will travel down the flow to Norway. This articles shows climate change and how it affects the planktons.

The researchers are seeing in the waters warm water temperatures and the currents that had traveled thousands of miles to Norway.The scientist are concerned because then the cold blooded animals are moving further down in the sea to feel cooler because of the warmth temperature.They collect plankton because they wanted to see the change of what happens when the climate changes.

Researches are seeing that tropical plankton are traveling thousands of miles on Atlantic currents to end up in Arctic Waters. Many scientists are concerned that this occurrence is a sign of global climate change due to the shifts in long distance currents redistributing species such as the tropical plankton. This however is debatable because Oceanographers have previously shown instances where pulses of warm water breached the Norwegian coast into the Arctic. There is also fossil evidence that shows tropical plankton established themselves on the arctic seafloor multiple times around 4200-4100 BC and again around 370 and 1100 AD. Despite these facts this is also the first time that living souther radiolaria has been so far north. Researchers collect plankton by dragging nets along with boats.

There are Pulses of warm water going into the Arctic waters with tropical Plankton going with it. They are moving because it is a warm current. These pulses are making the Arctic water warm up rapidly. Scientist think that the tropical plankton moving to the Arctic water shows that climate changes are already affecting the ocean and land. Researchers collect plankton by using nets that are attached to boats.

The tropical plankton traveled thousands of miles on Atlantic currents which is unusual but completely natural. The pulses of warm water traveling with the plankton are alarming scientists because they make the Artic warm up rapidly. Scientists use nets attached to boats to collect the plankton for research.

researchers are finding that tropical plankton are going to norway to the artic ocean traveling thousand on the atlantic ocean current but meanwhile scientist are worried about the change in climate cause the water pulse is getting warmer and now the plankton have to adapt to there enviroment

Researchers are concerned about climate change because the water is becoming increasingly warm and they are afraid that it is throwing off the underwater food chain and disrupting life of Marine animals.

Marine scientists saw that plankton started to move to norway because the temperatures were increasing. This was not the temperature that they lived in and that is why they moved to norway

Researchers traveled thousands of miles on the Atlantic the water got unusually warm and that was the outcome of of a total warming climate. All researchers are very concerned that all of the results are sign of global change the Atlantic water is getting really warm really quick. Scientist are studying the shells of planktons to track them and also find new Species
