Researchers have combined satellite measurements with underwater robot profiles to map vertical ocean currents plunging more than half a mile deep in the waters surrounding Antarctica, revealing ...

Changes in this global ocean current pattern are ringing alarm bells, and climate change is likely to blame.

The shape of the ocean floor alone can sustain major ocean currents and climate patterns, even in a simulated Earth with ...

Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a massive system of currents that span the entire ocean from south to north in a vertical loop. It brings warmer ...

Although it can be hard to tell from looking at the often placid waters of the Earth’s oceans, their currents carry immense amounts of water around the globe on a daily basis, underlying a dynamic ...

A new study suggests a major ocean current in the Atlantic Ocean is slowing down, a shift researchers say could influence weather patterns around the world, including the intensity of storms affecting ...

The Atlantic Ocean is being closely watched by scientists as one of the planet's most important climate systems shows signs of change. At the centre of the concern is the Atlantic Meridional ...

CORVALLIS, Ore. — A major ocean current system that helps move heat around the planet may weaken as the climate warms, according to research from Oregon State University. Scientists say the potential ...

A powerful El Niño and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole could lead to a stormier and wetter winter for Florida. The Indian Ocean Dipole is an ocean-atmosphere pattern that can influence weather ...
