The intense storms that hit the Antarctic Ocean allow it to absorb more heat from the atmosphere and thus contribute to reducing global warming.This is explained in a study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and published in Nature Geoscience magazine.The paper shows that current climate models underestimate how storms mix the ocean and thus offer less reliable future projections of our climate.The Antarctic is a vast expans…

More intense storms in the Southern Ocean cause the sea surface to remain colder and absorb more heat from the atmosphere. Research from the University of Gothenburg shows that these processes are crucial for the climate and have been underestimated in models until now. The Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica and is a key climate regulator. […] More science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl.
