Salt water in the oceans is not the same everywhere; There are water layers that have different salinities and temperatures. The phenomenon of thermohaline circulation – which results from the ...
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the "AMOC," is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's ...
During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...
The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.
A new study has concluded that the collapse of a "prominent and powerful" ocean current would have serious impacts on Europe. This marks the first time researchers have tested multiple climate ...
Researcher Léon Chafik aboard an oceanographic expedition at the Greenland–Scotland Ridge, with a CTD rosette in the background used to measure temperature, salinity, and other water properties ...
The Atlantic Ocean is undergoing a rapid and unsettling transformation that is now visible from space and measurable in the deep sea. Scientists tracking temperature patterns and circulation have ...
The ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...
