Satellite images captured its brief swirl over the open Atlantic. Why It Matters Though short-lived, Andrea became the first named system of the Atlantic hurricane season when it formed on Tuesday.

Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections.

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the "AMOC," is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's ...

Scientists have begun harnessing the powerful, low-frequency songs of whales to map the ocean floor to understand water topography.

Antarctic iceberg A-23A stuck in shallow waters off the coast of South Georgia island in the South Atlantic Ocean on March 4, 2025, as seen by the MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite.

The use of whale songs to map the ocean floor represents a beautiful confluence of biology, acoustics, geology, and advanced computing—a true interdisciplinary triumph in modern ocean science.

It caused no known damage. The satellite — called the GOCE, for Gravity field and Ocean Circulation Explorer — was launched in 2009 to map the Earth's gravitational field.

MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Isaac was intensifying and Tropical Storm Joyce was getting better organized in the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, forecasters said. Both systems were far out at sea, and no coastal ...

The students shadowed National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists and technicians while they conducted a survey of the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
