"The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050.

Such a slowdown could allow more warm water to reach the #Antarctic Ice Sheet, thereby exacerbating the melting that's already been observed. In addition to contributing to sea level rise, this could add even more meltwater to the Southern Ocean and weaken the #AntarcticCircumpolarCurrent further."

Ocean's 'heart' is slowing down — and it will affect the entire planet's circulation

Melting ice could weaken Earth's strongest ocean current 20% by 2050, study reveals.

Dicen que si seguimos emitiendo cómo ahora en 25 años se va a reducir un 20% la fuerza de la corriente antártica, que ayuda a la absorción de calor y co2 en el océano.

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?

BBC

"Melting #Antarctic ice is releasing cold, fresh water into the ocean, which is projected to cause the slowdown

What they found suggested a “substantial reconfiguration of Southern Ocean dynamics”, with “far-reaching impacts on global climate patterns, oceanic heat distribution, and marine ecosystems”. "|

we are away - next stop #AntarcticCircumpolarCurrent (hopefully). It'll take us about a week to get to #Antarctica depending on how testing and weather goes. #Antarctica #Oceanography
Oceanography, seafloor mapping and satellite combine to map world’s strongest current

RV Investigator has been working for the last five weeks to understand how this natural barrier contributes to melting Antarctic ice shelves - and the potential for sea-level rise.
