Researchers from Melbourne University in Australia and Norwegian Research Center to examine the effect of changing temperature, salinity and wind conditions ocean He analyzed the high -resolution ocean and sea ice simulation of factors such as currents and heat transfer.
As a result of the analysis using the climate simulator called “GADI”, researchers, Antarctica He revealed that the melting layers of ice -melted on the continent slow down the speed of the Earth, ACC’s speed.
Researchers, ACC’s speed will slow down by 2050 percent to 2050 percent.
“It can lead to the rise of sea level and the heating of the ocean”
Ice melting and ocean warming on the influence in the ocean is much more complex than thought in the past, researchers found that the melting ice can lead to the rise of sea level and the ocean warming up, he said.
Ocean “extremely complex and thin balance” stating that the researchers, the largest ocean basins for the slowdown in the discharge, such as the acceleration of global warming may have serious consequences, he said.
The researchers also stated that as the current speed slows down, the possibility of reaching the Antarctic continent of various species will increase, and that this may cause some serious effects on the nutritional network, including the livability of marine ecosystems and the change of the diet of Antarctica penguins.
The findings of the research were published in the magazine “Environmental Research Letters”. (AA)
