21年来，南极洲周围的人类活动导致大西洋经向翻转环流（AMOC）减弱了12％，导致北大西洋海平面上升。 21-year human activities around Antarctica weakened the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) by 12%, causing North Atlantic sea-level rise.

《自然地球科学》的一项研究表明，南极洲周围的人类活动正在导致北大西洋海平面上升。 A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that human activities around Antarctica are contributing to sea level rise in the North Atlantic. 二十年间，这些活动使大西洋经向翻转环流 (AMOC) 减弱了 12%，导致深海洋水变暖和深海海洋热含量增加。 Over two decades, these activities weakened the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) by 12%, causing deep ocean water warming and increased abyssal ocean heat content. 由于水的热膨胀，气候变暖和热含量增加了局部海平面的上升。 The warming and heat content increase local sea-level rise due to water thermal expansion.
