Whoa. We are well into spring — isn’t the water supposed to be getting warmer across Southern California right now? The days are getting longer and warmer, but the water temps feel as cold as they ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...

OCEAN CITY, N.J. (CBS) — Families heading to the Jersey Shore this week are facing unusually cold ocean temperatures. Professor Anna Pfeiffer-Herbert, who chairs Stockton University's Marine Science ...

WEST MICHIGAN — There was a classic case of upwelling along the east shore of Lake Michigan from Thursday to Friday. Water temperatures along the lakeshore plummeted, changing up to 25 degrees. At ...

The failure of a vital ocean upwelling has sparked concerns of catastrophic effects for life, according to scientists. Every year, between December and April, northerly winds create a rising current ...

Carbon storage in Earth’s oceans is controlled by deep-sea mixing processes, but the details have proved difficult to test. Ambitious efforts to track ocean mixing using dye have now demonstrated the ...

Every year, Panama’s Pacific coast benefits from powerful seasonal winds that drive nutrient-rich waters to the surface, sustaining fisheries and protecting coral reefs. But in 2025, for the first ...

Exactly how the turbulent mixing of ocean water relates to global overturning circulation has been little understood by oceanographers, but an international research team, including an Earth system ...

The Gulf of Panama has experienced an annual wind-driven oceanographic phenomenon called upwelling for at least as long as records of it have existed. In 2025, however, seasonal upwelling failed, and ...

Artificial upwelling is a form of geoengineering that aims to use pipes and pumps to channel cool, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface. In doing so, it could fertilize surface ...

We have wondered aloud in the past what would happen if the Gulf Stream collapses in 2025, and later in the year, we are now asking what would happen if the Gulf of Panama fails. The health and ...
