Global warming is having an impact on Atlantic Ocean currents that could lead to significant shifts in weather patterns in ...

A vital system of Atlantic Ocean currents that influences weather across the world could collapse as soon as the late 2030s, scientists have suggested in a new study — a planetary-scale disaster that ...

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 ...

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze, with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities, ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...

Despite the sea appearing to be a calm and uneventful natural feature, the depths of the ocean were not an alien ecosystem. A recent study indicates the connection between nature and the processes ...

Flooding on the US Northeast coast has risen significantly as a critical network of Atlantic Ocean currents weakens, according to a new study — an alarming glimpse into the future as some scientists ...

Five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger than the Amazon River, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is the most powerful ocean current on Earth. As it flows around ...
