Ocean anomalies traveling North crucial for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation - Stockholm University

Anomalies in temperature and salinity that originate in the midlatitude North Atlantic can affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in the Nordic Seas up to a decade later. The st...

Nice paper led by @leonchafik.bsky.social on the North Atlantic-Nordic Seas overturning circulation.

Sang-Ki Lee @sklee621.bsky.social · Jul 24

Warm & salty North Atlantic water transport to the Nordic Sea (NS) across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge (GSR) didn't show a slowdown since 1972. Instead, it exhibited multidecadal variability. The NS overflow & AMOC across the GSR also display a similar signal. 🌊🧪👍 doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-02557-x

The Arctic Ocean acts to stabilize the AMOC

New paper in #ScienceAdvances by researchers from @bjerknes.uib.no and @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social showing how ongoing Atlantification and sea ice loss leads to a strengthening of the Arctic overturning circulation.

Atlantification drives recent strengthening of the Arctic overturning circulation

A less ice-covered Arctic shifts dense water formation northward, strengthening the Arctic Ocean overturning circulation.

Very cool article about Kjetil Våge’s ROVER project and how the Nordic Seas could help to decide the fate of the AMOC.

Is a monster web of ocean currents headed for collapse? The race is on to find out

Research ships rarely brave the Greenland Sea in winter. Early this year, scientists ventured into the ice-covered waters to capture crucial data about the planet’s future.

In our project "Overturning circulation in the new Arctic" (ArMOC) we have deployed two Argo floats in the Arctic (north of Svalbard). A short story on the mission of Knoll & Tott here:

Buoys on Expedition in the Arctic Ocean

Two instrument-laden buoys ("Knoll" and "Tott") were recently released north of Svalbard, soon to disappear beneath the ice.
