A new theory says that a 30-year cycle in the Atlantic Ocean is the reason why global temperatures are not rising as sharply as before, despite increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. A team ...

Just south of Greenland, in the northern Atlantic Ocean, a strange area of water has been confounding scientists for years.

The anomaly, located just south of Greenland, is — perhaps counterintuitively — called the North Atlantic Warming Hole, and ...

If the ocean floor was spreading apart at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, it could explain how the continents had moved over time.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation — the conveyor belt of the ocean — is slowing down. Scientists disagree about what's behind it, but say it could mean bad news for the climate.

The ocean absorbs 90% of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and without the current, the ocean won't be able to absorb as much, Goes said, a situation that would only add to the already ...

The undersea holes were discovered near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the world’s longest mountain range which stretches 10,000 miles along the Atlantic Ocean’s floor. NOAA Ocean Exploration See Also ...

The Atlantic Ocean is still growing physically, but humans are over-harvesting its rich fisheries. The most famous one – North Atlantic cod – has become a textbook example of harmful overfishing.

In a world dictated by neutral theory, phytoplankton would have to die at an unreasonable rate to make room for all of the new plankton coming in from other parts of the ocean.
