As much of the ocean responds to the rising temperatures of today\u2019s world, the deep, dark waters at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean appear to be doing the exact opposite.<\/p>\n

A Harvard study has found that parts of the deep Pacific may be getting cooler as the result of a climate phenomenon that occurred hundreds of years ago.<\/p>\n

Around the 17th century, Earth experienced a prolonged cooling period dubbed the Little Ice Age that brought chillier-than-average temperatures to much of the Northern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s been centuries since this all played out, researchers say the deep Pacific appears to lag behind the waters closer to the surface, and is still responding to the Little Ice Age.<\/p>\n

\u2018Some regional warming and cooling patterns, like the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period, are well known.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our goal was to develop a model of how the interior properties of the ocean respond to changes in surface climate.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Medieval Warm Period was a period lasting between the 9th and 12th centuries during which Earth\u2019s climate leaned on the warmer side.<\/p>\n

It was followed not long after by the Little Ice Age, which lasted from the 16th through 19th century, though some argue it began even earlier.<\/p>\n
