[ENG] NCC: large-scale and deep-reaching compound ocean state changes over the past 60 years

Published in Nature Climate Change, 2025

It is important to understand the combined effects of multiple changes on the ocean. Here, we use time of emergence to highlight the increases in impacts of individual and compound changes globally from the surface to the deeper ocean, identifying areas most affected.
