A patch of the Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland is cooling while much of the world warms. The origin of this "cold blob ...

An influential current system in the Atlantic Ocean, which plays a vital role in redistributing heat throughout our planet's climate system, is now moving more slowly than it has in at least 1,600 ...

The anomaly, located just south of Greenland, is — perhaps counterintuitively — called the North Atlantic Warming Hole, and ...

The Atlantic Ocean may “soon” be swallowed up by a vast chain of colliding tectonic plates that has been ominously dubbed the “Ring of Fire,” scientists warn. The tectonic plate underneath ...

Instruments deployed in the ocean starting in 2004 show that the Atlantic Ocean circulation has observably slowed over the past two decades, possibly to its weakest state in almost a millennium.

The ocean absorbs 90% of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and without the current, the ocean won't be able to absorb as much, Goes said, a situation that would only add to the already ...

The Atlantic Ocean is cooling at an exponential rate, and nobody is sure why. It's been more than a year of record-high ...

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models and found no evidence of long-term ...

The Atlantic Ocean may begin to shrink, said a new study published in the journal Geology. Oceans are not necessarily a permanent fixture on Earth, as they are able to appear and close due to the ...

Water temperatures in the north Atlantic Ocean currently rival those normally seen during the summer months. By some estimates, this type of heat would only be seen once every 142,000 years.

The vast stretch of ocean between the Americas and Europe may be about to close soon—on a geological timescale. Just before the continents begin to drift back together, an "Atlantic ring of fire ...

The Atlantic Ocean is cooling at an exponential rate, and nobody is sure why. It’s been more than a year of record-high global sea temperatures, including being close to the collapse of the AMOC.
