What is Arctic Ocean Freshwater Bulge Detected about?
Scientists have detected a large freshwater bulge measuring around 8,000 cubic km in the western Arctic Ocean that has risen by 15cm since 2002. The bulge is thought to be driven by strong winds creating a clockwise ocean current. Satellite data shows significant rising of water levels in the Arctic Ocean since the 2000s, with the rate of rise being 2cm per year. The freshwater bulge could influence ocean currents and climate patterns if it continues to grow.
