| Zusammenfassung |
| The Florida Current is the headwater of the Gulf Stream and is
a component of the North Atlantic western boundary current from
which a geostrophic balance between sea surface height and mass
transport directly influence coastal sea levels along the Florida Straits. A linear regression of daily Florida Current transport
estimates does not find a significant change in transport over the
last decade; however, a nonlinear trend extracted from empirical mode decomposition (EMD) suggests a 3 Sv decline in mean
transport. This decline is consistent with observed tide gauge
records in Florida Bay and the straits exhibiting an
acceleration of mean sea level (MSL) rise over the decade. It is not
known whether this recent change represents natural variability or
the onset of the anticipated secular decline in Atlantic meridional
overturning circulation (AMOC); nonetheless, such changes have direct
impacts on the sensitive ecological systems of the Everglades as
well as the climate of western Europe and eastern North America. |
