Strange Atlantic cold spot linked to century-long slowdown of major ocean current
For more than a century, a patch of cold water south of Greenland has resisted the Atlantic Ocean's overall warming, fueling debate among scientists. A new study identifies the cause as the long-term weakening of a major ocean circulation system.

ecotopical.comThe Atlantic’s chilling secret: A century of data reveals ocean current collapse
A century-old mystery of a stubborn cold patch in the North Atlantic is finally being unraveled. A new study links this anomaly to a long-term weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a massive ocean current system that regulates climate across the Northern Hemisphere. Using over 100 years of temperature and salinity data, researchers showed that only models with a weakening AMOC could recreate the observed changes. Th…

For more than a century, a patch of cold water south of Greenland has resisted the Atlantic Ocean’s overall warming, fueling debate among scientists. A new study identifies the cause as the long-term weakening of a major ocean circulation system. Researchers from the University of California, Riverside show that only one explanation fits both observed ocean temperatures and salinity patterns: the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or A…
For more than a century, a piece of cold water in southern Greenland has resisted the global warming of the Atlantic Ocean, fuelling debate among scientists. A new study identifies the cause as the long-term weakening of a large ocean circulation system. Researchers at the University of California at Riverside show that only one explanation [...]
