The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers reported March 3 ...
Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or ...
The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, ...
Vital Atlantic Ocean currents are unlikely to completely collapse this century, according to a study, but scientists say a ...
But now, this large system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean is weakening and slowing down. And that could spell disaster.
The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has puzzled researchers since 2011. A new model demonstrates that the alga was brought to the tropics by strong currents, and thrived in ideal growing conditions.
Researchers identified a strong negative North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009–2010 as the tipping point that pushed sargassum ...
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is involved in everything from storing carbon to guarding Antarctica from invasive marine ...
Earth's largest iceberg has run aground off the coast of South Georgia Island, a common rendezvous spot for big bergs, new ...
Europe is warmed by heat from ocean currents, which move water from the warm tropics to the colder North Atlantic. Once the warm, salty waters from the tropics reach the polar region, they cool ...
Do the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans mix? Explore the science behind their visible boundary, the role of salinity and ...
Researchers identified a strong negative North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009--2010 as the tipping point that pushed sargassum into the tropical Atlantic, confirming vertical mixing, not rivers, as the ...
