At this year's Living Planet Symposium, attendees heard how ESA's Next Generation Gravity Mission could provide the first ...

New research from an international group looking at ancient sediment cores in the North Atlantic has for the first time shown a strong correlation between sediment changes and a marked period of ...

The study confirms that the North Atlantic cold patch is due to a weakening ocean current system, not aerosols or wind ...

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep water in the Subtropical North Atlantic. The results suggest that warmer ...

Beneath the waves, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which includes the Gulf Stream, acts as a ...

Analysis of mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation deep water limb in the North Atlantic has weakened. Two decades of continual ...

They found that although the AMOC weakens significantly under these two scenarios, the ocean current would continue in its weakened state, supported by upwelling of North Atlantic deep water ...

Deep-water formation in the Southern Ocean “looks headed towards collapse this century.” For years, climate scientists have warned that the freshening of the North Atlantic could one day turn ...

The warming of Antarctica's deep waters is hastening sea-level rise in the North Atlantic, a study has found. Researchers at the University of Miami and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

The water mass, named the Atlantic Equatorial Water, forms along the equator as ocean currents mix separate bodies of water to the north and south.

Parts of the Atlantic Ocean are again much warmer than normal, priming Europe for more extreme heat this summer.
