The circulation system of the North Atlantic Ocean, responsible for Ireland's relatively mild climate, has weakened and is expected to continue to weaken over the next decades, with potential consequences. disastrous consequences.
The strong ocean circulation has traditionally been associated with higher temperatures and colder temperatures, but new research is questioning this assumption, arguing that a weakened circulation could cause a rise in global temperatures. [19659002] In an article published by the highly respected scientific journal Nature, Dr. Gerard McCarthy and Professor Peter Thorne, Iranian units of analysis and climate research at Maynooth University, analyze the research of professors Xianyao Chen from the Oceanic University of China and Ka-Kit.

This research challenges conventional understanding of how variations in a system of ocean currents called Southern Circulation Atlantic (AMOC) affect global warming rates of the surface.
currents that extend across the Atlantic Ocean and that are generally characterized by a northward flow of hot water globally, AMOC has been considered a vigorous force associated with high surface temperatures across the Atlantic Ocean, but this new research rather puts the spotlight on the role of AMOC in taking heat from the atmosphere. ;Atlantic Ocean. the surface and storage in the deep ocean.
Overall surface temperatures increased steadily from 1975 to 1998, but this growth slowed for 15 years – an event that drew popular attention as a "hiatus". Since then, we have experienced the four hottest years recorded; 2014-2017. Dr. McCarthy and Professor Thorne argue that research can be the key to explaining this gap and understanding the mechanisms behind it can help us prepare for future climate change.
