This summer, the United States has seen the effects of climate change firsthand, as record-breaking wildfires, droughts and hurricanes have devastated parts of the country.

"To keep within our reach the vital goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, every nation needs to bring their highest possible ambitions to the table," the president said.

How much the ocean takes in each year varies, according to Dr. Jaime Palter, an associate professor of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, who spoke with ABC Audio's"Perspective" podcast. "It's the perfect place for the ocean to take up carbon dioxide, both because of the weather of the region -- it's just so stormy -- and also because of the oceanography of the region," said Palter."Second, once it's taken off, it can sequester it for hundreds of years if it manages to sink in the deep ocean."The Saildrone Surveyor is pictured during sea trials in the San Francisco Bay, in an undated handout photo.

The drones are wind- and solar-powered and are equipped with sensors and cameras to check CO2 levels, wind speed and several other variables. They navigate via predetermined way-points while a pilot supervises on land.The data will be fed back instantly to researchers on land via satellites.The mission has two focuses: first, to better understand how the Gulf Stream absorbs carbon, and second, to learn how it transports heat, which is the ECMWF's focus.
