"Without carbon reduction, sea temperature at the end of the 21st century is 4.5℃ ↑...Sea level also rises by 58cm"

Without carbon reduction, sea level temperatures around the Korean Peninsula will rise by up to 4.5 degrees Celsius and sea level will rise by up to 58 centimeters at the end of the 21st century and 60 years later.

The number of 'marine heat wave occurrence days' in which high temperatures last for more than 5 days also increased from 288 to 299 days.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced today (26th) the analysis data of the "Ocean Climate Future Prospects Around the Korean Peninsula" jointly studied by the National Institute of Meteorological Sciences and the "Low Carbon Scenario" and "High Carbon Scenario" of the "Intergovernmental Climate Change Council IPCC."

For sea level temperatures, in the 'low carbon scenario' where carbon reduction is best, sea level temperatures rise and stabilize by 2050, but
The 'high carbon scenario' assuming that there is little carbon reduction
shows that sea surface temperatures will rise by an average of 4.28°C at the end of the 21st century (2001-2100) compared to the last decade, especially in the West Sea and the central East Sea.

In addition, the number of days of "ocean heat waves" in which the top 10% of high water temperatures last more than five days based on the average daily water temperature has also gradually increased compared to the last 10 years, increasing the number of days of occurrence to up to 295.5 days in the "high carbon scenario."

In addition, sea level height was also expected to rise up to 0.58 m (58 cm) around the southern East Sea in a high carbon scenario.

The Korea Meteorological Administration said that the data will be provided and utilized through the Korea Meteorological Administration's climate change situation map as such phenomena can increase heat waves, storm surges, and extreme weather events in the future.
