Scientists warn a mysterious cold patch in the North Atlantic may be a signal human-induced climate change is disrupting ...

The fate of the Atlantic Ocean current that keeps Europe’s climate warm depends on our carbon emissions and the rate of ice ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) regulates the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean and influences the global climate, but a recent report from researchers at Utrecht ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Mesoscale ...

The collapse of one of Earth's most important ocean currents may already be locked in, according to an ominous new study.

The system of ocean current that moves heat in the Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in regulating climate. Today’s monitoring of it may be discontinued ...

The ocean’s circulatory system may not be doing as poorly as previously thought. A vital ocean artery known as the Florida Current, a bellwether for the ocean’s ability to regulate Earth’s climate, ...
