With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, a slower circulation should also dredge up less carbon from the deep ocean that ...

Atmospheric rivers exist to take moisture ... systems that form just far enough south that their counter-clockwise circulation scoops up water vapor from the tropics and transports it northward.

Warmer air can also hold more water vapor. The circulation of the atmosphere will pull streams of moisture away from the equator forming “atmospheric rivers.” These “rivers” of moisture ...
