Ocean current expected to warm - and could drive up sea level rise, study finds WLRN Public Media | By Jenny Staletovich Published April 8, 2025 at 8:37 AM EDT ...

Ocean eddies are huge loops of swirling current, sometimes hundreds of kilometers across and reaching down over 1,000 meters. They're so large you can see them on satellite images.

Learn how ocean currents and warm-core eddies drive big-game sport fisheries worldwide. Discover how real-time satellite data, bathymetric features, and boundary currents shape ideal conditions for ...

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

Warm ocean currents attacking the underside of ice shelves are the dominant cause of recent ice loss from Antarctica, a new study using measurements from NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation ...

A key current in the wider Atlantic Ocean current system has remained “remarkably stable” over the past four decades, a new analysis suggests. Published in Nature Communications, the study is ...

The Atlantic current flows because warm water cools as it reaches the Arctic, forming sea ice. That leaves salt behind, causing the remaining water to become more dense, sinking and pulled southward.

A little-known ocean current surrounds Antarctica, shielding it from warm water farther north. But our new research published in Geophysical Research Letters shows Antarctica's melting ice is ...

The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze, with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some ...
