Enhanced westerly winds lead to increased ocean heat transport to the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, study finds

Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

A research group led by Kohei Mizobata , Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology , has found that enhanced westerly winds associated with global warming will strengthen the clockwise circulations and transport heat to the ice sheet in the East Antarctic coastal area.

The findings of this study are also expected to help improve the accuracy of future projections of sea level rise.

Westerly winds in East Antarctica strengthen the clockwise circulation not only in the bays mentioned above, but also in many East Antarctic coastal areas such as Davis Sea and the Adélie Depression .

Future projections based on global warming scenarios indicate that westerly wind will strengthen until the latter half of the 21st century .
