Antarctic Bottom Water has thinned, warmed, freshened, and spread more slowly into the global ocean since 1970. Yet, the physical drivers of these changes and their broader implications remain incompletely understood. Here we combine up‐to‐date observations (1985–2024) with ocean model simulations extending to 2050 t...
