A new study by scientists from the University of Southampton and the UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) suggests that the global climate is on the verge of broad-scale change that could last for a number of decades. Decadal variability is a notable feature of the Atlantic Ocean and the climate of the regions it influences.
