As the Atlantic's current weakens, North Atlantic salinity could swing more wildly than ever, raising flood risk on Europe's ...

A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets ...

Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) might be responsible for the ‘cold blob’ (light blue), a ...

A new study suggests the Atlantic's mysterious "cold blob" may signal ocean current changes that could affect U.S. weather.

An ocean current called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken by 50 percent by 2100. The question is ...

A mysterious cold patch off Greenland points to a weakening ocean current, and the ripples could reach the West Coast.

Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. An international ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

Although it can be hard to tell from looking at the often placid waters of the Earth’s oceans, their currents carry immense ...
