Oceanographers at the University of Miami are investigating the Florida Current, one of the fastest ocean currents in the world, to determine if it is slowing down. This current is a crucial element of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which plays a significant role in the global climate by transporting water, nutrients, and heat throughout the Atlantic Ocean. Recent expeditions have faced technical difficulties, such as faulty sensors, but continue to collect data on temperature, salinity, and water flow. The research aims to determine if the AMOC is weakening due to climate change, which could have considerable consequences on global weather patterns and sea levels.
