Study finds Atlantic Ocean circulation weakening A new study has worrying conclusions about changes to a vital aspect of the global climate system. Why it matters: The apparent weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) — largely because of melting ice — is a reminder that climate change could bring about nasty surprises in the future. Nature Geoscience on Thursday, researchers reported the AMOC — a system of ocean currents that includes the Florida Current and th...

February 26, 2021 A growing body of evidence suggests that a massive change is underway in the sensitive circulation system of the Atlantic Ocean, a group of scientists said Thursday. The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), a system of currents that includes the Florida Current and the Gulf Stream, is now “in its weakest state in over a millennium,” these experts say. This has implications for everything from the climate of Europe to the rates of sea-level rise along th...

By Chris Mooney and  Andrew FreedmanThe Washington Post Share A growing body of evidence suggests that a massive change is underway in the sensitive circulation system of the Atlantic Ocean, a group of scientists said Thursday.

Photo: Lauren Owens Lambert / AFP (Getty Images) For decades, volunteers in Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts have spent November and December trekking up and down the area’s beaches during high tide. They have a very important mission: finding stranded sea turtles that are so cold they can barely move, leaving them essentially defenseless on the shore. The sea turtles that experi...

Its almost like the intersection between two very different currents, the loop current and florida current that kind of goes around florida, which gives florida some clear water and then the close current near the louisiana shoreline kind of goes -- definitely goes from east to west. so its right at that spot. it moves a little further to the west, gets picked up by this current, moves further south and east and will get picked up by this current. over the next couple days our winds are going to...
