The analysis probes the co-variability of atmospheric vertical motion and precipitation with SSTs over the main western boundary currents of both hemispheres using high-resolution reanalysis, ...

The AMOC is driven, by differences in water temperatures and salinity, but climate change could disrupt that balance.

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

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.

The AMOC essentially acts as a very slow conveyor belt circulating warm water north and cool water south. As the National ...

A new study projects that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—the system of currents that includes the ...

A team of the world’s leading ocean and climate scientists in 2024 penned an open letter presented at the Arctic Circle ...

Cooling in the subsurface waters beneath Greenland’s Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden Glacier (79NG) from 2018 to 2021 was driven by European atmospheric blocking, which forced changes in the large-scale ocean ...

A barrage of intense, wild swings in climate conditions may have fueled the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history. A re-creation of how ancient sea surface temperatures, ocean and atmosphere ...

Some of us no doubt remember the 2004 disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow,” in which the collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s currents led to an ice-covered Northern Hemisphere in a matter of days.

For years, climate experts have been sounding the alarm about the worsening impacts of global warming, and a report made by a European news wire agency over the weekend heightened the concerns in an ...

Tokyo, Japan – Operators have pumped water to cool the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) since the accident in 2011 and treated this cooling water with the Advanced ...
