Earth, ocean current and Antarctic ice sheet

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,
Global Warming Will Weaken Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current
A new study shows melting Antarctic ice changes the density of ocean layers around Antarctica, driving a slowdown of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
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 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,
Melting ice hits brake on world's strongest sea current
An ocean current 100 times stronger than the Amazon River is expected to slow as ice sheets melt, with knock-on impacts for sea level rise and ecosystems.
Melting ice could slow vital Antarctic ocean current: study
The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences. Scientists used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to model how melting ice sheets might change the Antarctic Circumpolar Current,
Melting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profound
Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It’s five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River.
