The Gulf Stream is the weakest, lasting more than 1,000 years, the study says
This Tuesday, November 10, 2020, a satellite image available by NOAA shows a tropical storm at 10:40 a.m. in the Gulf of Mexico, Theta, to the right, and to the south, a tropical wave that has become a tropical storm ita. An extreme year for hurricanes, wildfires, heat waves, floods, droughts and snowmelt – an extremely hot world weather record in 2020, the United Nations Meteorological Agency reported on Wednesday, December 2, 2020. (NOAYA AP) A group of European scientists released new research this week claiming that the Gulf Stream is now weaker than it has been at any stage in the last 1,000 years. The Gulf Stream is the flow of the Atlantic Ocean that plays a largely hidden role in shaping the weather patterns in the United States. Has done a lot of research and learned about the influential present over the last 100 years, especially because of the skills of Father Benjamin Franklin, the founder of America. But in recent decades, changes in the rotation of the Gulf Stream have weakened over the last millennium compared to other periods, according to a recent study published by scientists in Ireland, Britain and Germany. The weakening of the Gulf Stream, formally known as the Atlantic Meridian Overturning Circulation (AMOC), can largely pin a catalyst, the researchers said: changes in the human-climate environment. The Gulf Stream is the largest source of water in the current Atlantic Ocean. According to Stephen Rahmstorf, one of the study’s authors, it behaves like a giant conveyor belt, circulating about 20 million cubic meters of water every second. How strong is it? “The Amazon flows about a hundred times,” he told the Potsdam Institute. The Gulf Stream has been in the Global Real-Time Ocean Forecast System Model (RTOFS) since 2016. (Image by NOAA) The main function of the Gulf Stream is to redistribute heat to the Earth by way of ocean currents. The oceanic circulatory system is used in many weather patterns around the world, especially in the U.S. The East Coast plays a crucial role. Rahmstorff said his team’s research is the main reason for being able to combine the later bits of research to bring together the 1,600-year-old image of AMOC Evolution. “The results of the study suggest that it was relatively stable until the end of the 19th century.” “With the end of a small ice age in about 1850, the second, more drastic decline since the middle of the 20th century began to decrease sea levels.” Original mapping of the Gulf Stream by Timothy Folger and Benjamin Franklin from 1768.

Bob Smerbeck, a senior meteorologist at Ecuador, said sea levels could rise if water levels were warmed this year. However, Smerbeck added that it is difficult to know how hot the water can be. Previously, studies have shown that rising water temperatures and high sea levels can lead to more extreme weather events such as tropical storms, the possibility of extreme heat waves or a decrease in summer rainfall. However, other researchers have also come out with conflicting data, suggesting that Gulf Stream has not really declined in the last 30 years. Using a different data modeling system, researchers from the United Kingdom and Ireland said in a study published earlier this month that “overall AMOC is not declining.” The authors write in their study, which a few days before Rahmstorf’s team published their research on the subject, “Our results are more convincing that adequate changes in HDA circulation are key to detecting any anthropogenic climate-related AMOC reduction. ” Smarbeck, who has been a meteorologist at Acquaver for nearly 25 years, urged caution about how to interpret the new research claims. “A possible reaction discussed in Article 1 [the first study mentioned above] The recession of the AMOC could lead to an increase in sea level due to the thermal expansion of seawater about warming water on the east coast. “This seems understandable.” Smerbeck said. But, he added that the extra amount of seawater will depend on how hot the water heats up and he is not ready to speculate about that.

The document, prepared by Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Philip Livingston and Roger Sherman, declares the secession of 13 North American British colonies from Great Britain.

Well, the search was fueled by the need to increase efficiency with the mail service and was motivated by Benjamin Franklin working as a deputy postmaster in London in 1768, according to Smithsonian magazine responsible for overseeing the arrival of mail in the American colony. Olger, at the same time served as captain of the merchant ship. One day, Franklin asked Folger why his merchant ships arrived in the colonies rather than return to England from Franklin’s mail ships. Folger explained to his cousin that the trade captains followed the advice of the whalers, who followed a “hot, strong current” to track and kill the whales. While Franklin said the mail captain is very proud to follow the advice of “simple American fishermen,” according to author Laura Bliss, traveling on the current trip was a costly time. So Folger called the current a common place for Franklin and called it the “Gulf Stream.” However, Franklin’s mail carriers refused to follow directions. The Gulf Flow Chart was published in 1786 in the Practices of the American Philosophical Society.

Battle of European Maritimers, according to Smithsonian. The combination of Folger’s whaling knowledge and Franklin’s mapping will be crucial in understanding the importance of the present, even if they are trying to figure out how to deliver mail in the original way. While the knowledge of AMOC can only go back a few years, Smarbeck said that dating trends can be done in a variety of different ways. He said direct instruments with deep sea instruments only date back to 2004, but other methods could help build the puzzle together, such as analyzing corals and historical data from shipwrecks. “Tree rings can tell how wet or dry the nearby land environment was in the past, which can be linked to sea surface temperatures,” Smerbeck explained. He said, ‘Ice Core can tell the same thing as well as how hot or cold it was in the past. “Ocean sediments can show if there were periods of high or low flow from nearby rainfall over land, which may be connected to how hot or cold sea surface temperatures were in the past.” Researchers have used all of these keys to provide insights, stretching over millennia, they have developed the Gulf Stream.
