USA Today article about the Atlantic "cold blob" (warming hole): 🌊🧪 www.usatoday.com/story/graphi...

Mysterious 'cold blob' discovered in Atlantic. Does it mean trouble?

A mysterious Atlantic 'cold blob' or 'warming hole' signals weakening currents, prompting warnings of collapse from scientists. These maps show where.

New study by Hu et al. reveals #IndonesianThroughflow’s nonlinear response to #CO2, with a rapid decline after crossing a #TippingPoint. The first point may be approaching, signaling a potential climate #Tipping element with implications for global #climate. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Some consider the lack of weakening of the currents between Atlantic and Nordic Seas an argument against an ongoing #AMOC weakening. Here we show why the opposite is true: AMOC weakening causes a temporary increase in Nordic Seas overturning. 🌊 egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...
