Present-day North Atlantic salinity constrains future warming of the Northern Hemisphere

I. Park, S. Yeh, et al.

This groundbreaking research by In-Hong Park, Sang-Wook Yeh, Wenju Cai, Guojian Wang, Seung-Ki Min, and Sang-Ki Lee reveals how North Atlantic subpolar sea surface salinity (SSS) influences future carbon uptake and warming projections. By using observed SSS as a key constraint, they have successfully reduced uncertainties in climate models, providing crucial insights for understanding our planet's future climate dynamics.
