A new study by van Westen et al. shows that the #tippingpoint of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC is also found in a high-resolution ocean model which resolves ocean eddies. A first, but no surprise to AMOC experts. 🧵

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is like a huge heat pump, taking water from the tropics up north, warming areas in Europe. But as climate change accelerates, the AMOC is becoming less stable. It might even be headed to a shutdown.

Atlantic currents aren’t some distant risk. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is already weakening, and if it tips, the consequences are real: a colder Europe, disrupted food systems, frozen ports, energy shortages. This isn’t a 2100 problem. It’s happening now. Source:

TRUMP: Who are you with? REPORTER: I'm with the New York Times. TRUMP: *Chuckles* FAILING. The FAILING New York Times! Circulation way down at the New York Times! 🤣 REPORTER: Are you concerned that your threat to bomb power plants and bridges amount to war crimes? TRUMP: No.

Ocean Heat Source 08: 📢Antarctic Bottom Water and overturning don’t explain the magnitude of the abyssal warming acceleration. Test type: Empirical, data-constrained model comparison This one reminded me how important quantitation is... Antarctic Bottom Water is real, and at first, it actually looked like a surprisingly good match to the abyssal warming signal. The density structure matched surprisingly well. The pathway was plausible. Then, I calculated how much warming acceleration the overturning circulation can actually supply. ECCO produces only ~2% of the observed 4-6 kdbar acceleration. So AABW/overturning may contribute, but it fails as the dominant quantitative explanation. I’m now down to the final 2 mechanisms! We’re getting close to narrowing this down. Next, I’m testing the geothermal/hydrothermal heating mechanism. Details:

The “Cold Blob” and talk of the collapse of a vital ocean current has been all over the news lately. New research confirms the peculiar cold blob is a canary in a coalmine for our climate. A collapse would cause climate chaos. But how likely is it? Here’s a very simple video about how the AMOC works, the latest science, the tipping point, and what collapse would mean to Earth’s climate. #AMOC #climatechange #science #STEM

It's incredibly peaceful up here. Amazing to think that 315 miles down this river is New York and the Atlantic Ocean. Watch Day 1 of the #HudsonSwim2023 🎥👇🏊‍♂️

In the past week, scientists have warned us about AMOC collapse, that we're on course for a catastrophic 3°C of warming, and that the last time CO2 was this high, it WAS that hot and the ocean was 50' higher. Our leaders could be taking action. Instead, it feels like...

After departing NASA Goddard, NASA's Roman Space Telescope traveled to the Port of Baltimore in its specialized transport container, nicknamed “Chariot.” Technicians loaded it onto NASA’s Pegasus barge, where it journeyed down the coast of the Atlantic Ocean to its new home at Kennedy!
