If Atlantic Ocean currents collapse due to melting ice sheets, researchers predict there will be huge shifts in tropical monsoon systems — and the effects could be irreversible for at least 100 years.

Reassessing the stability of the Florida Current: New insights from 40 years of observations

There is growing scientific interest in quantifying how large-scale ocean circulation is evolving as part of a changing global climate. Of particular interest is the potential weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

Scientists found that the strength of the Florida Current, the beginning of the Gulf Stream system and a key component of the global Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, has remained stable for the past four decades.

Eamon Ryan: If warnings about Atlantic ocean circulation are correct, Irish people could become climate migrants

The potential weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in response to anthropogenic forcing, suggested by climate models, is at the forefront of scientific debate. A key AMOC component, the Florida Current (FC), has been measured using submarine cables between Florida and the Bahamas at 27°N nearly continuously since 1982.

Study reveals crucial role of mixing Atlantic and Arctic waters in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

A study found the Florida Current has remained stable over the past 40 years. This stability, measured via a submarine cable and satellite altimetry, suggests the Florida Current’s role in the AMOC is consistent.
