Earth, Ocean Current

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster – instead, it is at risk of failing
Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?
Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current Could Slow 20 Percent by 2050 Because of Climate Change, Study Finds
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is involved in everything from storing carbon to guarding Antarctica from invasive marine species, and a slower current could have far-reaching consequences
Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing Earth’s strongest ocean current: ‘There could be severe consequences’
Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing Earth’s strongest ocean current: ‘There could be severe consequences’ - Freshwater from melting ice sheets can slow the critical ocean circulation that helps r
Melting Antarctic ice sheets are slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, research reveals
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise,
Antarctic ice melt could weaken world’s strongest ocean current: What that means for Earth
In a nutshell • The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, Earth’s strongest ocean current, is projected to weaken by about 20% by 2050 due to freshwater from melting Antarctic ice sheets. • Unlike previous predictions that suggested the current would strengthen with climate change,
Melting Antarctic ice sheets will slow Earth's strongest ocean current
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise,
Melting Antarctic ice projected to slow world’s strongest ocean current
Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the ocean's salt levels, potentially disrupting the vital Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Scientists Ring Alarm Bells Over Earth's Strongest Ocean Current Slowing Down
Image via Shutterstock Scientists are quite alarmed indeed about the Earth's strongest ocean current. Apparently, it is slowing down and poses to have devastating consequences. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has transported more than 173 million cubic meters of water before you even finish reading this sentence.
