At a conference in Exeter, UK, researchers discuss the risk that the so-called "Atlantic Circulation" could soon tip - with unpredictable consequences for the climate. But technical developments give hope.
Likely accelerated weakening of Atlantic overturning circulation emerges in optimal salinity fingerprint
The long-term response of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to anthropogenic forcing has been difficult to detect from the short direct measurements available due to strong interdecadal variability. Here, we present observational and modeling evidence for a likely accelerated weakening of the AMOC since the 1980s under the combined forcing of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and aerosols. This likely accelerated AMOC weakening…
As the planet warms up, a vast area of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland, does the opposite, it cools.This anomaly, known as 'the cold spot', has bewildered the scientific community for years.Now, a new study published in Science Advances sheds light on the phenomenon and reveals that not only the ocean is involved, but also the atmosphere.The key to the enigma is the South Atlantic Vuelco Movement (AOC), a huge ocean current that acts…
This is the conclusion of a new research published in Science Advances, announced on Wednesday to the European Press Agency. An area of the Atlantic Ocean, even south of Greenland, is being recreating as much as much of the world is heating. The origin of this "free man" has been associated with the breach of the
