<p>A slowing Atlantic Ocean current is projected to intensify powerful storms in California while reducing snowfall over Greenland, according to a new University of California, Riverside study.</p> https://t.co/4LeEIxWICp
Using 21st century climate model projections, this study shows that a weakened AMOC will increase the frequency of ARs in the mid-latitudes, especially along the west coast of North America.
