A little-known ocean current surrounds Antarctica, shielding it from warm water farther north. But our new research published in Geophysical Research Letters shows Antarctica's melting ice is ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current, or AMOC for short, comprises an enormous system of currents that carries water ...

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature ... and winds around Antarctica dictate the strength of the current. Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed ...

Arctic ocean is warming at record pace, threatening collapse of AMOC and heightening risk of severe coastal flooding in ...

To track changes, scientists rely on both satellites and ocean-based observations. But while satellites have greatly improved monitoring for surface currents that deliver warm water, like the Gulf ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, or AMOC, is a giant system of ocean currents that shuttles warm surface ...

Parts of the Atlantic Ocean are again much warmer than normal, priming Europe for more extreme heat this summer.

Researchers using the ECCO model can study Agulhas Current flow as it sends warm, salty water from the tropics in the Indian Ocean toward the tip of South Africa. The model helps tease out the ...

A key current in the wider Atlantic Ocean current ... of currents that slowly circulates water in the Atlantic Ocean, bringing warm water north and cold water south. Changes in the AMOC affect ...

Tropical Storm Alvin has sustained winds of over 39 mph and became the first named storm of 2025 in the Northern Hemisphere.

The weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is boosting the sea level along the New England coast ...
