A study by researchers from IISc, University of Melbourne, and University of Southampton published in Nature Climate Change finds that since 2015, Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) has become saltier and denser due to a sharp decline in Antarctic sea ice melt. This change disrupts ocean stratification and may increase carbon release into the atmosphere, affecting global warming.
