Research Reveals ‘Warm Water’ Flowing Toward One of Antarctica’s Biggest Ice Shelves Could Dramatically Raise Sea Levels ...

The AMOC, crucial for Earth's climate, has remained stable over the past 60 years, per a WHOI study. Advanced methods show no ...

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...

Rip currents are powerful channels of water that flow away from shore, often causing life-threatening conditions for swimmers ...

So horizontal ocean currents are driven by density gradients – flowing from low density to high density. Currents do not flow directly in the direction of the density gradient. They flow in ...

The Loop Current is an ocean current that transports warm Caribbean water through the Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico. The current flows northward into the Gulf of Mexico, then loops ...

In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), moves water throughout the world's oceans powered by a combination of winds ...

When ocean currents flow around the planet, they move warm and cold water with them, changing the climate and weather as they go. For example, Britain would actually be much colder if it wasn’t ...

A new study published by scientists suggests Atlantic Ocean currents could collapse by the 2030s and cause a planetary ...

Crucially, the clam data came from a spot on the border between the AMOC and Arctic waters, where ocean conditions are heavily dependent on the strength of currents flowing from the south.
