Flood Risk To Us East Coast

摘要

The Big Apple could be awash by the end of this century. New predictions suggest that US east coast cities will be hit hard by sea level rise.rnToday, the sea level along the US east coast is relatively low, whereas further offshore it rises sharply. This anomaly is caused by the balance of forces required for the flow of the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current, both of which contribute to the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC).
