A mysterious Atlantic 'cold blob' or 'warming hole' signals weakening currents, prompting warnings of collapse from scientists. These maps show where.
In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a swath of water is doing something very strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up; it’s been getting colder. A team of scientists say ...
A key ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean is weakening to the point of total collapse due to climate change, a new study warns. Scientists say the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre – a massive system ...
A cold blob of water in the North Atlantic points to a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, ...
The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths. The efficiency of this process can be estimated using the so-called water ...
Ocean temperature anomalies can drive anomalous atmospheric circulation, further impacting High Mountain Asia’s glacier dynamics, but this teleconnection remains underexplored. Here we present robust ...
Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The slowdown has been detected across a vast region of the North Atlantic over ...
Bivalves, such as clams, oysters and mussels, record seasonal environmental changes in their shells, making them living chronicles of climate history. A new study of bivalve shells has detected two ...
A vast, long‑suspected mass of water has reappeared in the tropical Atlantic, confirming decades of theory and reshaping how scientists think about the ocean’s hidden plumbing. Far from the surface ...
A Pipeline Company Says It Will Protect the Environment in North Carolina. Its Record in Tennessee Says Otherwise. As Colorado River States Struggle to Reach Agreement, New Mexico Brings on a Fresh ...
The eastern Pacific has seen three tropical storms form in less than a week. Meanwhile, in the Atlantic basin, conditions remain quiet. As of June 9, the National Hurricane Center has yet to highlight ...
