Days 2-4 of my voyage to the #Antarctic Peninsula on the #tallship #BarkEuropa: crossing #DrakePassage until we sighted Smith Island, South Shetland Islands. As expected, there were some rough seas, but I didn't feel well enough to take photos in the worst conditions.

#Schmelzwasser aus der #Antarktis schwächt die atlantische #Umwälzströmung (#AMOC) schwächt. Das #Schmelzwasser gelangt über den #Südpazifik und die #DrakePassage in den #Nordatlantik, wo es den #Salzgehalt reduziert. Gleichzeitig verschiebt sich durch die Kühlung im #Südpolarmeer die innertropische #Konvergenzzone (#ITCZ) nach Norden, was mehr Regen im tropischen Atlantik verursacht.

Antarctic meltwater reduces the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation through oceanic freshwater transport and atmospheric teleconnections - Communications Earth & Environment

The Antarctic ice sheet meltwater impacts Atlantic meridional overturning circulation by cooling surface and shifting Intertropical Convergence Zone northward, causing increased precipitation, lower salinity, and reduced circulation strength in the northern tropical Atlantic, according to results from an ocean-atmosphere coupled general circulation model.

Quite surreal enjoying our ersatz log fire input stateroom whilst we sail through the Drake & luckily so far seems more like a lake?
