The deep saltier, warmer water is largely isolated from the cold, fresher waters near the surface, they say.

We might have a saviour in the form of the growing antarctic ice sheets in the southern winter as this causes much more planckton to form on the undersurface of the forming ice sheet driving super saturated salty waters deep into the circum polar antarctic bottom waters which is the main driver of the Great Oceanic Conveyor and later on it's travels the AMOC.

This large amount of freshwater to the ocean could stop vertical deep sea currents which depend on a starting from surface downwards on a delicate balance between fresh and salty water and temperatures.

The resulting formation of Antarctic sea ice expelled colder, salty waters that filled the abyss and began cooling the deep oceans.

This circumpolar deep water, which is relatively warm and salty compared to other parts of the Southern Ocean, has warmed and shoaled in recent decades, and can melt ice at the base of glaciers which reduces friction and allows them to flow more freely.
