Scientists warn that the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, linked to the Gulf Stream, could trigger severe global disruptions.

A low-pressure area has formed over the east Equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining central south Bay of Bengal due to an upper-air cyclonic circulation.

Six projects will investigate innovative approaches that could help slow Arctic sea ice loss and reduce escalating ...

Scientists are again examining the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the vast ocean system that ...

The Florida Current, a powerful flow of warm water threading through the narrow Straits of Florida, acts as the opening valve ...

The Atlantic Ocean's 'conveyer belt' might be slowing down - and scientists are rushing to figure out why.

But scientists say a warming world is throwing off this balance. As Arctic ice melts, freshwater enters the North Atlantic — making the ocean water less dense, so it is less likely to sink. As a ...

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...

Key climate tipping points may be closer than expected, raising the risk of accelerating warming, sea-level rise, and ...
