Features on the ocean floor varied across the regions and were affected by surface activities, influencing the nature and ...

Magellanic penguins finding their way back to their nests from the open ocean subtly adjust their headings to exploit tidal ...

Just south of Greenland, in the northern Atlantic Ocean, a strange area of water has been confounding scientists for years. While the rest of the ocean warms, that patch has been mysteriously cooling.

You might think only massive ocean currents like the Gulf Stream affect global weather. But swirling mini-currents, known as submesoscale eddies, play a crucial hidden role.

Why the tropics have been unusually calm and what that means for hurricane season Attention is now turning to the Atlantic Ocean, which has yet to produce a tropical storm since the season started ...

When will a vital system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean collapse? Depends on whom you ask. New research suggests the currents that help shape the climate may be weakening more slowly than thought.

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 ...

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 ...

Investments supported by the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are transforming our knowledge of the Loop Current, the dominant physical ...

Past climate change ‘shifts ocean currents and winds in Southern Ocean’ Analysis of global climate patterns from past 1.5 million years reveal links between ocean circulation and climate changes.
