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 ...
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 ...

Massive system of rotating ocean currents in the North Atlantic is behaving strangely — and it may be reaching a tipping point
An analysis of clam shells suggests the North Atlantic subpolar gyre has had two periods of destabilization over the past 150 years: one around 1920 and the other from 1950 through present.
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 ...
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, ...
A report warns that coral reefs may have reached their tipping point, and ice sheets, ocean currents and the Amazon are at ...
Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a spooky outlier — positioned right above the area where the Atlantic Ocean’s ...
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, ...

Ocean currents can generate electricity, and our study shows Africa's seas have some of the strongest
The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...
Sometimes, the best thing for a penguin is to go with the flow. Magellanic penguins change their strategy for navigating home based on the strength of ocean currents, researchers report July 17 in ...
A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...
