Southern Ocean layer shifts raise questions on heat and carbon storage
Original: Major Southern Hemisphere ocean layer shifts, raising questions about heat and carbon storage
Researchers report major shifts in Southern Hemisphere ocean layers, changes that could affect how much heat and carbon the oceans absorb and store. The restructuring of these water masses has implications for climate projections, as the Southern Ocean plays a key role in regulating global temperatures and carbon cycles. Scientists are still working out the full consequences of the observed changes.
Why now: New research on Southern Hemisphere ocean layer changes has implications for climate modelling and carbon storage.
