Study Reveals Weakening of Atlantic Abyssal Limb in North Atlantic
A recent study published in Nature Geoscience reveals a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation abyssal limb in the North Atlantic, impacting heat and carbon redistribution. The study shows a decrease in the transport of Antarctic Bottom Water towards the north, with warming trends contributing to sea-level rise in the region. This weakening is linked to reduced formation rates of Antarctic Bottom Water and abyssal warming in the western Atlantic Ocean.
