Antarctic meltwater engine sputters as key ocean layer reverses
New research points to a reversal in a key ocean layer around Antarctica, suggesting the meltwater-driven circulation that helps regulate global ocean currents is weakening. Scientists warn the change could affect heat and carbon transport across the world's oceans, with observers voicing concern about the pace of Antarctic ice melt and its wider climate consequences.
Why now: New findings of a reversing ocean layer near Antarctica raise alarm about weakening global ocean circulation.
