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 closer look at Earth’s history shows that melting ice sheets temporarily increased stratification in the Southern Ocean.

However, the links between AMOC, carbon levels, and isotopic variations are still not yet well understood. New modeling efforts in a pair of studies by Schmittner and Schmittner and Boling simulate an ...

Among the many reasons why we ought to cut climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions as quickly and sharply as possible, the weakening of a system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional ...

Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, makingmodels ...

Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a spooky outlier — positioned right above the area where the Atlantic Ocean’s ...

A look into Eath's history shows that the ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification ...

The ocean’s circulatory system may not be doing as poorly as previously thought. A vital ocean artery known as the Florida Current, a bellwether for the ocean’s ability to regulate Earth’s climate, ...

Many of us have a way of taking the oceans for granted. A place to surf, perhaps, or to enjoy other water sports, or simply admire while sitting on the beach. Those who make their livings in far ...

It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team ...

Today, as the climate warms, AMOC may be weakening again. However, the links between AMOC, carbon levels, and isotopic variations are still not yet well understood. New modeling efforts in a pair of ...
