Understanding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)

Studies indicate a steady weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) since the mid-20th century, linked to rising global temperatures and freshwater influx from melting ice.
A weakening AMOC disrupts global heat transport, affects rainfall patterns, raises sea levels, and threatens ecosystems dependent on nutrient-rich ocean currents.
Models suggest a potential 33% reduction in AMOC strength under 2°C of global warming, with significant climate impacts likely within...
