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.

However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ... Oct. 22, 2024 — Polar bears in some parts of the high ...

Meteorologists in California, North Carolina and Florida issued advisories early Thursday morning warning beachgoers that entering the ocean could pose risks because of longshore currents and rip ...

with ocean currents influencing their frequency. While marine heatwaves (MHWs) have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, new research published today in Nature has found 80 per ...

A report describes the dire state of Earth’s snow and ice, suggesting that several major climate tipping points are more ...

Forty-four of the world's leading climate scientists have called on Nordic policymakers to address the potentially imminent and "devastating" collapse of key Atlantic Ocean currents. The currents ...

The authors show that the small-scale variability of SST in ocean boundary currents is correlated with small-scale vertical wind anomalies throughout the troposphere. This suggests that mid ...

Data suggests major change is coming to the Atlantic Ocean, and it's not good. © John Christian Fjellestad via Flickr The collapse of one of the world’s most ...

A collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a system of ocean currents that transports warm water into the North Atlantic and provides Europe its mild climate, could put living ...

In research published today in Nature, we show almost half of the heat waves and cold snaps reaching the ocean's twilight ...
