SciencePhoto: YahooAntarctic Sea Ice Loss Increases Ocean Layer Salinity and Depth
The loss of Antarctic sea ice is causing a vital ocean layer to become saltier, denser, and deeper. Studies from institutions like IISc and the University of Melbourne report significant changes in the Southern Hemisphere's ocean layers, raising concerns about impacts on heat and carbon storage. This reversal in Antarctic Intermediate Water trends is linked directly to sea ice decline.
