How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play? Researchers from Bremen, Kiel and Edinburgh have pursued this question and ...

A report from a European news wire agency on the reversal of an important ocean current has sparked alarm online.

This cool zone in the North Atlantic Ocean appears to be associated with a slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), one of the key drivers in global ocean circulation.

Salt water in the oceans is not the same everywhere; There are water layers that have different salinities and temperatures. The phenomenon of ...

From more frequent wildfires to rising sea levels, climate change is disrupting ecosystems and upending once-stable weather patterns. One particularly alarming consequence of rising global ...

Researchers measuring the salinity of the Southern Ocean did find unexpected results, but some online reports got the details ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation has declined in strength by 15 percent since the mid-20th century to a “new record low,” the scientists conclude in a peer-reviewed study ...

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

The ongoing decline of Arctic sea ice exposes the ocean to anomalous surface heat and freshwater fluxes, resulting in positive buoyancy anomalies that can affect ocean circulation. In this study ...

Climate change will slow down deep overturning ocean circulation in the coming centuries. Using three dozen Earth system models, researchers have concluded that the Southern Meridional Overturning ...

The ocean is about to flip a switch that could permanently disrupt life on Earth: study The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is destabilizing to a dangerous point, a new study says ...

Atlantic Ocean circulation is the weakest in at least 1,600 years, study finds – here's what that means for the climate By Jeff Berardelli February 26, 2021 / 3:29 PM EST / CBS News ...
