A new University of Miami study looked at forty years worth of data from across the Atlantic and found cooler waters in deep currents off the U.S. coast could be warming. The current, known as the ...

The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast ...

The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role ...

Ocean circulation also serves as the mediator between large-scale climate variability and impacts on marine ecosystems. The Oceans and Climate Lab at CU Boulder seeks to better understand the ocean ...

Global climate models predict that the ocean around Antarctica should be warming, but in reality, those waters have cooled ...

Freshwater from melting ice sheets can slow the critical ocean circulation that helps regulate the planet’s climate ...

The Arctic Ocean (Figure 1), the smallest of the world's five major oceans, is about 4000km (2500 miles) long and 2400km (1500 miles) wide, about the size of the continental USA. It lies entirely ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to a new study. As a result, the North Atlantic could be flooded with ...

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep ...

One of the ocean currents in the Arctic Ocean is at risk of disappearing this century because of climate change, according to ...

A major ocean current in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre, is changing rapidly due to climate warming—and this could trigger a ...

Enhanced westerly winds associated with global warming will strengthen the clockwise circulations and heat transport to the ...
