Cañon Fiord’s Whirling Waters

During the 2022 summer melt season, sediment plumes and fractured sea ice traced swirling eddies in a branch of the Nansen Sound fjord system in the Canadian Arctic.

Evidence for a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) from high-resolution SST fingerprint analysis

Yeah right, this AMOC scare is just alarmist BS from fancy models. That cold blob? Probably just weather noise, not some Europe-freezing doomsday. Media loves hyping junk science again.

Evidence for a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) from high-resolution SST fingerprint analysis

The evidence for a weakening AMOC is concerning, especially when considering the potential tipping point highlighted by the high-resolution SST fingerprint analysis. The correlation between model simulations and observed trends emphasizes the urgent need to address potential climate impacts, particu...

Major reversal in #OceanCirculation detected in the Southern #Ocean, with key climate implications.

The study’s main finding is surprising and alarming: since 2016, a sustained increase in surface salinity has been detected in the region between the polar and subpolar gyres of the Antarctic Ocean. This change in water composition suggests that the deep ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere (known as the #SMOC) is not only being altered, but has reversed.
