Icelandic government officials recently met to discuss a dramatic scenario: what if the current that circulates Atlantic ...

The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW)—a vast layer of fresh water spanning much of the Southern Hemisphere's ocean—has ...

New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling currents—that break off from major currents—are redistributing heat and nutrients in ...

One of Earth’s most vital ocean currents is rapidly weakening. The cause: global warming. A collapse of this current could send devastating ripples through the planet’s climate. The current is known ...

The shifting patterns of ocean currents shape our climate and weather. Even today, understanding how ocean currents behave is challenging. But researchers have developed an AI tool that can map ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

A new study suggests a major ocean current in the Atlantic Ocean is slowing down, a shift researchers say could influence weather patterns around the world, including the intensity of storms affecting ...

The Gulf Stream is full of interleaving temperature gradient structures that hint at complex underlying current dynamics. GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time ...

An Amoc collapse would dramatically alter the world’s climate – often in unexpected ways. Our new study shows how governments ...
