Asian aerosols slow down Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, per research in Nature Communications.
New research published in Nature Communications reveals that increased Asian aerosols can slow down the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a complex system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean. This finding, by scientists at DOE's PNNL, Ocean University of China, and Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, identifies the impact of Asian aerosols on the AMOC, a vital oceanic conveyor belt that affects global climate patterns.
