Scientists explore complex pattern of tipping points in the Atlantic’s current system

New mathematical modeling of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation — a system of ocean currents — shows greater complexity than previously thought. Researchers have revealed a hierarchy of irreversible ‘tipping points.’
