Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...

This phenomenon is largely attributed to its unique upwelling and circulation characteristics. The team reconstructed the speed of ocean currents near the bottom of the Southern Ocean by measuring ...

Wind-driven upwelling and downwelling are stronger in the Southern Ocean, and both intermediate-depth and abyssal waters are formed. During the ice ages, stronger stratification in the Antarctic ...
