An essential Atlantic Ocean current that regulates the planet's climate is weakening much faster than previously thought, according to a new study. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...
A conveyor belt of ocean water that loops the planet and regulates global temperatures could be heading for a tipping point.
Climate change is melting ice at an alarming rate, and a pair of studies warn of potentially dire consequences. In one, fresh water from melted ice could upset a delicate balance that fuels weather ...
In the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” the Atlantic Ocean’s main current system is disrupted and sets off a chain of ...
Earth, being 71% covered in water, is influenced by the ocean and its movements. In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), ...
A major current that runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean and plays an important role in the planet's climate may be approaching a tipping point that would lead to its collapse, researchers have ...
The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ...
Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, makingmodels ...
