The ocean is a vital part of our planet's climate system. Through its global circulation patterns, the ocean draws vast quantities of our planet's heat and carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. It's ...
On land, we're familiar with heat waves and cold snaps. But the deep sea also experiences prolonged periods of hot and cold. Marine heat waves and cold spells can severely damage ocean ecosystems and ...
A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...
In 2023, global ocean heat content reached unprecedented values since records began in 1960. The translation of global ocean heat into regional and local-scale ocean warming remains poorly understood ...
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is often described as the planet’s great conveyor belt, moving warm water north and cold water south to keep regional climates within familiar bounds.
Migration is one of nature's best strategies for survival. Countless species depend on precise timing to align their journey with food availability, breeding options, and perfect weather to raise ...
Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...
