The AMOC stayed strong even as a major ocean “lifeline” nearly shut down

Ancient seafloor sediments have revealed a surprising twist in how the Atlantic’s massive circulation system works. During a cold period about 3.4 million years ago, the flow of warm, salty water from the Indian Ocean into the Atlantic nearly shut down—but the AMOC did not weaken as expected. Parts of the overturning circulation actually grew stronger.

Geological evidence questions the role of Agulhas Leakage in Atlantic Ocean Circulation

For decades, scientists have asserted that the leakage of warm, salty Indian Ocean water south of South Africa into the Atlantic is a major contribution to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a…
