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.
The Pacific Ocean (band) The Pacific Ocean (band) The Pacific Ocean was an American indie rock band formed in 1996 and based in New York City. Edward Baluyut had left Versus in 1996 due to work and family commitments and had played drums for Connie Lovatt's band Containe that year. Shortly afterward, Connie and Edward formed The Pacific Ocean. They released their debut EP "Birds don't think they're flying" on Enchanté Records that same year with Edward playing both drums and guitar on the album, Lovatt on bass and lead vocals, and Patrick Ramos (his replacement in Versus) playing drums on one track.
