The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

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, ...

A new paper in Oxford Open Climate Change, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that extensive bleaching and deaths are widespread at several major coral reefs around the world. This ...

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...

West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

The East/Japan Sea is a complex and dynamic marginal sea whose circulation patterns are governed by a combination of local atmospheric forcing, basin geometry, and exchanges with surrounding margins.

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

Scientists in Japan discovered microscopic fossils revealing that the North Pacific Ocean was once more interconnected. The ...
