Scientists have found strong observational evidence that a key part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has been weakening across a wide stretch of ocean for nearly two decades. The slowdown could eventually reshape weather patterns, rainfall, storms, winters, and coastal sea levels around the Atlantic. The study, led by researchers at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science, provides some of the clearest direct observational evidence so far that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is losing strength.
