The Arctic ice sheets are melting. Many already understand that is will lead to sea-level rise, but there is another effect that this may have on the world. In the past the melting of large masses of ice in the Artic Ocean has happened before and they had massive effects on the climate. Europe cooled dramatically, especially in winter, and Asia showed signs of desertification. Climatologists believe that these temporary climatic shifts may happen again now that the Arctic ice sheets are melting due to human driven climate change.

You may wonder how melting ice sheets may make parts of the world cooler. Some might know of the albedo effect. The white of the ice reflects the energy of the sun back into space. As the ice melts there is less white to reflect the energy and more heat remains on Earth. If the heat is increasing, then how can parts of the world become cooler? This is because the chain reaction that leads to potential cooling isn’t linked to the amount of ice left, but the amount melted. When ice melts, fresh water is added to the ocean and this influences how the ocean functions.

Oceanic circulation is often called a conveyor belt by oceanographers. Ocean waters rise in the Northern Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Then they travel across the surface to eventually sink again in the North Atlantic Ocean. From there they travel across the bottom of the ocean back to the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. Figure 1 shows this circulation. It takes centuries for waters to travel along the entire conveyor belt, but if the circulation gets disturbed the effects may be noticeable quite a bit faster. This may be a good hundred years, but that is quite fast on a geological time scale.

Figure 1: This map shows a simplified image of the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt. Arrows indicate the direction in which the water travels. Blue indicates deep water currents and red indicates surface water currents (Source: IPCC 1996, based on Broecker (1987)).

So what happens if a lot of fresh water from icebergs gets added in the area where the waters sink? To answer this question we need to know the mechanisms behind the sinking of these waters or, as it is also called, the North Atlantic Deep Water formation. The warmer waters that arrive from the south are saltier without being heavy. This is due to the different properties water can have at different temperatures. As the waters travel north they become colder. The higher salt content causes the waters to become heavier and eventually sink. Much like water evaporates more when the air is warm and then falls down as rain when the air cools. When fresh water is added to these waters their salt concentration decreases and therefore the speed at which they sink decreases as well.

Scientists have measured a slowing down of North Atlantic Deep Water formation in certain places in recent years. They have also observed mass melting of icebergs in the distant past. These are called Heinrich events and can be observed in oceanic sediment by the large rocks that fell as the icebergs melted. Both computer models and natural records from prehistoric times show a chain of events caused by this melting and subsequent slowing and/or stopping of the North Atlantic Deep Water formation. Figure 2 shows a simplified map of climate anomalies from an event that happened 8,200 years ago. Lands near the North Atlantic cooled down, especially during winter, Africa and Asia saw decreases in rain, and the Americas suffered from increased winds.

Figure 2: Summary map of climate anomalies during the 8k event (from Alley & Argustsdottir (2005)).

But how can one part of this circulation cause effects as far away as India? Lets go back to the name ‘conveyor belt’. If you stick a screwdriver in the place where the conveyor belt at a supermarket cash registry disappears down, the whole belt will stop moving. The same applies to the oceanic conveyor belt to a degree. If no more water sinks in the North Atlantic Ocean the rest of the system will slow down and stop as well. The oceans have a massive influence on the climate of the world, especially on landmasses near these oceans. Warm waters from the equatorial region move north and release their heat (also shown in figure 1). During winters this means that temperatures do not get as low as they could. If no more warm waters move north this influx of warmth is also gone. North America and Europe suffer much colder winters in this scenario. Models and prehistoric records have shown the formation of sea ice in Europe in these conditions. In Africa and Asia monsoons are very important for the formation of rain. Monsoons form due to the balance of ocean temperatures and land temperatures. The slowing and/or stopping of the ocean conveyor belt will change this balance and the characteristics of the monsoons will change, leaving Africa and Asia drier than before.

However, we shouldn’t panic and start worrying about apocalyptic winters in Europe or massive crop failures in Africa and Asia just yet. The Earth’s climate is a system about balances. A balance can be upheaved, but as long as certain thresholds aren’t passed the balance will be restored. The slowing of North Atlantic Deep Water formation that has been measured in certain spots recently doesn’t mean that the whole system will be messed up. In other areas the waters are still sinking at regular speeds and scientists haven’t measured any of the other waters moving towards these sinking spots slowing down. Even if it came to it, the conveyor belt can restart and speed back up again, as it has in the past. This article isn’t written for the purpose of scaremongering. It is a look at a truly tiny part of the massive system of checks and balances that influence the climate on Earth. How complicated it is to predict how the human driven climate change will effect the Earth in the long term. There is a reason why we changed from talking about Global Warming to Climate Change. In the past Heinrich events and the climatic changes linked to it were most often observed at the end of ice ages. The Earth was warming, but would temporarily cool down again. However, the forcing behind the warming was too strong and the Earth would continue to warm. If the forcing had not been as strong, the Earth could have gone back to the way it had been before (the ocean conveyor belt never stayed still). This is why we talk about thresholds and tipping points. The Earth can regain her balance. It will take a long time, but we can help her along the way.

If you want to read more about the North Atlantic ‘conveyor belt’ and the associated climatic changes a good place to start is: Alley, R. B. (2007). Wally was right: Predictive ability of the North Atlantic" Conveyor belt" hypothesis for abrupt climate change. Annual Review of earth and Planetary sciences, 35(1), 241-272.

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar - Edison and Fort Lee NJ

Restaurant review

I totally get and appreciate the novelty of conveyor-belt sushi. It's exciting watching the dishes glide by. You get to pick stuff that looks good, like a buffet, but you don't have to move - the food comes to you. And with the touchscreen at each table, you get to order anything from the full menu and it is delivered via a second conveyor directly to your table. Super cool.

However: (and these are big howevers)

1. It's expensive. We had lunch for 6 people (4 adults, 2 children) and the bill came to $310. Adding a tip brought it to $360. ($60 per person). That's about double what we would have paid on a weekend at an all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant. You pay $3.55 per plate, plus any extras (drinks, special orders, etc). But there's only a few bites on each tiny plate. It's not uncommon to eat 10-20 plates per person, and they add up.

2. The sushi is just not that good. I mean, it's fine. Not exceptional. Not inspired. Just fine. There's not a huge selection of either maki or nigiri either on the full menu, and there's even less on the conveyor. We had a few things that were not great (eg the takoyaki were uncooked inside). A few standouts: the wagyu nigiri was really tasty and has great smoky notes; the ramen broth is very tasty and a rival of other dedicated ramen restaurants.

3. You can't customize *anything*. Don't want the spicy mayo? Extra green onions? Allergic to sesame seeds? Too bad. There's no way to customize anything on the touchscreen. (Full disclosure, we didn't ask a human server, so maybe we could have gotten it that way )

4. The variety on the conveyor depends highly on where you are seated in the dining room. The plates are filled in the kitchen and progress in a line past every table without being refilled until they reach the kitchen again. Lowest-numbered tables eat first. (Maybe tip your host before being seated?).

** And there's no sashimi anywhere in the restaurant. So if you don't eat rice, you're pretty much SOL. **

Those are the biggest challenges i had myself.

A few other nits:

- the servers weren't as attentive as i would have liked, despite a dedicated call button on the touchscreen

- the touchscreen itself was sort of hard to access. High up above the table, it put the two people next to it responsible for the whole table's orders.

- tables fit exactly four. Don't try to bring a large group. They'll try to make it work, but it's not at all comfortable. In fact, the whole place is kind of snug.

I don't want the overall impression here to be incredibly negative. There's lots of positive here: the food is tasty, no challenges with cleanliness or decor. Everything worked - which is saying a lot given the amount of automation required to make this place work. And it's cute and clever!

Make sure you get the app to "virtually" get online otherwise you're facing 1-2 hours of waiting.

My takeaway is simple: if you like Japanese food are aren't picky about what you get (and don't have any food allergies), it's probably worth a trip for the novelty alone. But i suspect after you're done, you won't want a second visit.

Happy Eating!

Matters needing attention in the use of conveyor belts

1. It is strictly forbidden to use straps of different types and specifications together.

2. Prevent folding and pressing of hard objects during use. Unused conveyor belts should be coiled and packaged.

3. The direction of transporting materials and the speed of material falling are consistent with the direction and speed of the belt.

4. Before use, generally start the machine empty to avoid overloading of the motor and slipping of the conveyor belt. Before stopping the machine, all the materials on the belt should be unloaded.

5. The tension should not be too large during use, at least ensure that there is no slippage between the belt and the driving roller and that the material is not overloaded.

6. Do not make the belt run off-track or meander during conveying, and it should be adjusted in time.

7. If the phenomenon of slippage or unmoving occurs during use, the fault should be eliminated in time, the tensioning system should be adjusted, and the elastic device should be kept flexible.
