Antarctic melt slows bottom water formation in two regions
A Science Advances study reports actual ocean observations off East Antarctica showing freshwater from melting glaciers halting Antarctic bottom water in the West Antarctic coast and near Totten glacier. The finding supports a feedback loop of warming, fresher surface water and accelerated glacier melt, with broader implications for global overturning circulation.
