UC Riverside researchers mapped out global ocean currents' impact on Arctic warming - and have a sliver of hope.
Ocean currents redistribute warmth around the globe, and without them the poles would be much colder and the tropics hotter.
The Arctic heats up faster than anywhere else, but slowing ocean currents could surprisingly reduce temperatures by 2°C.
However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected ... that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, was present at least 250 million ...
We used this rich data to uncover the role of eddy currents. Ocean eddies are huge loops of swirling current, sometimes hundreds of kilometres across and reaching down over 1,000 metres.
The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ...
The weakening of ocean currents may intensify Arctic warming, leading to more extreme weather patterns and accelerated ...
