Scientists are rigorously investigating the Florida Current, a key component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), to determine if it is slowing down. This current, which flows between Florida and the Bahamas, is vital for the transport of water, nutrients, and heat across the Atlantic Ocean. Recent research initiatives by the University of Miami and NOAA are focused on measuring the current's flow, velocity, temperature, and salinity to assess any potential weakening.
