A series of ocean currents in the Atlantic drive heat northward and control much of the world’s weather. Scientists believe the current — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or ...
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), often compared to a gigantic conveyor belt in the ocean, plays an essential role in regulating the climate, especially in Europe. Recent studies ...
Emerging scientific research suggests a grim reality where the Atlantic Ocean’s formidable currents may collapse within the next few decades. This potential collapse, fuelled by the relentless ...
New mathematical modeling of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation -- a system of ocean currents -- shows greater complexity than previously thought. Researchers have revealed a hierarchy of ...
A new paper in Oxford Open Climate Change, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that extensive bleaching and deaths are widespread at several major coral reefs around the world. This ...
West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...
The Atlantic Ocean currents are slowing down, according to a new study led by a University of Maryland researcher. Specifically, the study found the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) ...
A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...
An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a ...
A critical system of Atlantic Ocean currents may be approaching collapse, which scientists warn will have a dangerous impact on our global climate. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...
The East/Japan Sea is a complex and dynamic marginal sea whose circulation patterns are governed by a combination of local atmospheric forcing, basin geometry, and exchanges with surrounding margins.
