Antarctic sea ice loss is making a vital ocean layer saltier and denser
Original: Antarctic sea ice loss is making a vital ocean layer saltier, denser, and deeper
New reporting says shrinking Antarctic sea ice is changing a key ocean layer, making it saltier, denser, and deeper. Scientists are discussing what this means for ocean circulation and the Southern Ocean's role in regulating the global climate, since these layers help drive heat and carbon movement between deep waters and the atmosphere.
Why now: Concerns about Antarctic sea ice loss and its effects on ocean circulation and climate
