- A recent study has found that Atlantification started at the beginning of the 20th century.
- The Arctic has warmed by 2 degrees Celsius since 1900.
- The larger Atlantic Ocean began flowing faster than the Arctic Ocean could accommodate.
- This weakened the distinction between the layers and transformed Arctic waters into something closer to the Atlantic.
- This process is called Atlantification.
- It is part of the reason why the Arctic is warming faster than any other ocean.
