Uno studio pubblicato su Nature Geoscience aggiunge nuovi elementi a sostegno della tesi secondo cui il collasso del capovolgimento meridionale della circolazione atlantica (Amoc) potrebbe essere più vicino di quanto si pensi. L’Amoc è una corrente oceanica che trasporta le acque calde dell’Atlantico tropicale verso nord e quelle fredde dell’Artico verso sud, svolgendo un ruolo […]
A new study highlights the critical role of the Irminger Sea, located off southeastern Greenland, in maintaining the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC, a global ocean conveyor belt, is crucial for regulating Earth’s climate, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. According to research led by Dr Qiyun Ma, a postdoctoral researcher […]
New research led by the University of California, Riverside, suggests that a slowdown in a significant ocean current may help reduce Arctic warming projections by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the century’s end. The study was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, investigating how a slowing Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) […]
