An essential Atlantic Ocean current that regulates the planet's climate is weakening much faster than previously thought, according to a new study. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...
Climate change is melting ice at an alarming rate, and a pair of studies warn of potentially dire consequences. In one, fresh water from melted ice could upset a delicate balance that fuels weather ...
Earth, being 71% covered in water, is influenced by the ocean and its movements. In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), ...

Scientists are sounding the alarm that a crucial component of the planet’s climate system is in gradual decline and could one day reach a tipping point that would radically alter global weather ...
Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, makingmodels ...
The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ...
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — If you remember the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal in 2004, weather patterns became so out of whack that New York City got flooded by a huge tsunami and ...
