Water in the Indian Ocean flows into the Atlantic Ocean

The study, published in the April 27 issue of the journal Nature, shows that the currents of the Indian Ocean's ocean currents flowing into the Atlantic could increase from 1.4 to 4 million cubic meters per second per decade.

This amount of water is then entered into the circulation cycle against the South Atlantic.

With this result scientists from the University of Miami said that "leaking" water from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic Ocean could reverse the United Nations' predictions of slowing down of the ocean current system. and Europe is warmer.

The UN Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change, IPCC, 2007 said global warming "is very likely" to slow down the system of Atlantic ocean currents and keeping Western Europe is relatively warmer than other countries of the same latitude.

According to Miami researchers, the United Nations may need to reconsider their research models for future climate change. This means that it is wrong to predict the current IPCC model for the next century and that the North Atlantic will not be cool to partially offset the effects of global climate change in North America and Europe. Europe.

The United Nations is preparing a new assessment of climate change that is expected to be published in 2014 and will review studies that have been published since the last major study in 2007.

According to the United Nations, higher temperatures and more rainfall due to climate change, as well as melting ice in Greenland and other parts of the Arctic, will "probably" lead to a slower movement of the system. of the currents in this century. At the same time, Europe will be warmer due to the effect of temperature rising by the concentration of greenhouse gases.
