Scientists from the United States and China have recorded the acceleration of the ocean current off the coast of Antarctica encircles the shores of Antarctica and passes through all time zones. The reason for the change in the flow rate is climate change. This is reported in an article published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The prevailing westerly winds are known to intensify as it warms. Models show that increased wind does not greatly alter ocean currents, but feeds eddies, which are circular movements of water. To understand how water temperature affects currents, the researchers analyzed satellite data on sea surface elevation, as well as readings from ocean buoys that track the parameters of changes in global circulation. It turned out that changes in ocean temperature causes a significant acceleration of ocean currents. including circumpolar. The current is likely to accelerate further as the Southern Ocean continues to absorb
