A new study of satellite imagery and high-resolution climate model data upends previous assumptions and provides insight about how the atmosphere and ocean weather patterns interact. The new research ...

There is a surplus of energy at the tropics and a deficit in polar areas. Atmospheric and oceanic circulation redistributes this energy, so energy is moved from areas of surplus (between 38 ...

With such a slowdown, scientists estimate the ocean will pull down less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, a slower circulation should also dredge up less carbon from the deep ocean that ...

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, ...

Scientists found that atmospheric winds can either slow or energize ocean eddies depending on their direction.

As we burn fossil fuels, the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere is gradually rising, and with it, the planet's ...

Beryllium-10, a rare radioactive isotope produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, provides valuable insights into the Earth ...

A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that's crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more stable ...

Could ocean currents ensure that global warming continues even after we have reached carbon-neutrality?  One of the concepts ...

Earth's climate has changed throughout history for numerous reasons, but modern climate change is driven by human behavior.

A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has not weakened since the 1960s — but there's no doubt ...
