Ocean Currents Speeding Up Faster than Predicted
For this new study, the researchers tapped into a network of free-drifting instruments, known as Argo floats, to measure the movement of water up to a depth of 2,000 meters. Although faster currents were observed in 76 percent of the world’s ocean waters, the most dramatic changes were seen in the tropics.
Climate change models predicted ocean currents would speed up – but not this soon
