A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 ...

Findings could improve weather forecasting and climate models. A study led by atmospheric scientists at Colorado State University reveals that western boundary currents, powerful ocean currents along ...

UC Riverside researchers mapped out global ocean currents' impact on Arctic warming - and have a sliver of hope.

The currents in question are those forming the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a giant ocean conveyor ...

We used this rich data to uncover the role of eddy currents. Ocean eddies are huge loops of swirling current, sometimes hundreds of kilometres across and reaching down over 1,000 metres.

In research published today in Nature, we show almost half of the heat waves and cold snaps reaching the ocean's twilight zone—between 200 and 1,000 meters—are driven by large eddy currents ...

A weaker AMOC could result in less heat being transported to higher latitudes. The Arctic is heating up three to four times ...

Melting Arctic sea-ice may disrupt global climate, altering ocean currents and weather patterns, reveals new research.

Study Reveals Acceleration in Pacific Upper-Ocean Circulation Over Past 30 Years, Impacting Global Weather Patterns Oct ... the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic ...
