A key ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean is weakening to the point of total collapse due to climate change, a new study warns. Scientists say the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre – a massive system ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean and influences the global climate, but a recent report from researchers at Utrecht ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

A massive system of rotating ocean currents in the North Atlantic is behaving extremely strangely, possibly because it is approaching a tipping point, a new analysis of clam shells shows. The North ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

NASA's advanced seafloor mapping technology has revealed what is hidden beneath Earth's oceans. The findings offer an insight into how underwater navigation can be improved. The data comes from the ...
