The Blob (Pacific Ocean) the surface waters of the mid-latitude Pacific Ocean flipping from a cold phase to a warm phase in a cycle known as the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO). This poorly-understood change happens at irregular intervals of years or decades. During a warm phase, the west Pacific becomes cooler and part of the eastern ocean warms; during the cool phase, these changes reverse. Scientists believe a cold phase started in the late 1990s and the arrival of the Blob may be the start of the next warm phase. The PDO phases may also be related to the likelihood of El Nino events.
Saba you rise from the ocean Saba you rise from the ocean Saba you rise from the ocean is the national song of the Caribbean island Saba, a special municipality of the Netherlands. The anthem was written and composed by Christina Maria Jeurissen, a Dominican nun, in 1960. Saba, you rise from the ocean,<br> With Mountain and hillside so steep,<br> How can we reach you to greet you,<br> Isle of the sea, rough and deep.<br> Come, let us look at the rowers<br> with faces so placid and calm,<br> Guide us now safe through the breakers,<br> take us ashore without harm. "Chorus:" Saba, Oh Jewel most precious,<br>
