The Antarctic Circumpolar Current may be moving 20% slower by 2050, according to research described in The Conversation. Surrounding Antarctica in a ring, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the ...

But there's also a much less well-known behemoth of a current that sits just to Australia's south. It's called the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and it's enriched with eddies and jets.

Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It’s ...

We identified and examined 4060 swarms within the main flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (Scotia Sea) using a combination of an EK60 echosounder, a 153.6 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler, ...

But a new study suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which until now has been extremely stable, might begin to slow down in the next 25 years, with potentially severe consequences for ...

Caption This image shows the path of the Kelvin waves that interact with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and push warmer waters under the ice shelves of the West Antarctic Peninsula. These waves ...

The Southern Ocean, which circles the globe without being blocked by land, is home to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the longest of the world's ocean currents. Also known as the "channel ...

Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050 ...

REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier WELLINGTON, March 3 (Bernama-dpa) -- Melting ice sheets will slow the world's strongest ocean current, Australian and Norwegian researchers have found, according to German ...

Scientists used one of Australia's most powerful supercomputers to model how melting ice sheets might change the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which plays a major role in global climate patterns.
