Satellites show strongest evidence yet the AMOC is weakening
Original: Satellites show some of the strongest evidence the AMOC is weakening
New analysis based on satellite observations provides some of the strongest evidence so far that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the ocean current system that helps regulate the climate of Europe and North America, is weakening. Scientists warn that a significant slowdown could alter weather patterns, raise sea levels on the US east coast and disrupt rainfall, though the pace of any decline remains debated.
Why now: New satellite-based findings suggest a major ocean circulation system may be slowing, raising concerns about climate impacts.
