antarctic circumpolar current, Earth and Atlantic Ocean

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster – instead, it is at risk of failing
Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?
Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current Could Slow 20 Percent by 2050 Because of Climate Change, Study Finds
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is involved in everything from storing carbon to guarding Antarctica from invasive marine species, and a slower current could have far-reaching consequences
Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, research reveals
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise,
Global Warming Will Weaken Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current, New Study Predicts
The slowdown of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current could have 'dire' consequences, including greater climate variability and accelerated global warming.
World's strongest ocean current is slowing down rapidly; Scientists warn it could have a scary effect on Earth
Scientists warn that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is slowing down due to climate change. This could lead to sea level rise and ocean warming. The current might slow by around 20 percent by 2050,
Melting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profound
Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current down 20% by 2050.
Melting Antarctic Ice is Expected to Slow Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current – Here’s Why It Matters
Melting Antarctic ice could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by 20% by 2050, disrupting climate, rising sea levels, and harming marine ecosystems.
Melting Antarctic ice sheets will slow Earth's strongest ocean current
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise,
Scientists Ring Alarm Bells Over Earth's Strongest Ocean Current Slowing Down
Image via Shutterstock Scientists are quite alarmed indeed about the Earth's strongest ocean current. Apparently, it is slowing down and poses to have devastating consequences. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has transported more than 173 million cubic meters of water before you even finish reading this sentence.
Weakening currents in the Atlantic may mean a wetter northern Australia and drier New Zealand
Europe is warmed by heat from ocean currents, which move water from the warm tropics to the colder North Atlantic. Once the ...
The gift of an iceberg to the ocean
As the iceberg melts, its released elements can alter the physics and chemistry of the ocean, propelling particles from the ...
Rising Temperatures Are Scrambling the Base of the Ocean Food Web
Scientists are gaining new insights into how plankton supports life on Earth — just as climate change is changing everything.
Going with the flow: Visualizing ocean currents with ECCO ocean model
Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or ...
