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 the Gulf Stream — is in its "weakest state in over a millennium." The AMOC is the oceans' thermohali...

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 the U.S. East Coast. Although evidence of the system’s weakening has been published before, the new ...

Scientists see stronger evidence of slowing Atlantic Ocean circulation The weakening has implications for everything from the climate of Europe to the rates of sea-level rise along the U.S. East Coast. 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. The strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), a system of currents that includes the Florida Current and the Gulf Stream, is now “in its w...

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 experience this are suffering from a form of hypothermia known as cold stunning. It can be caused when wat...
