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

The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that runs from the coast of Florida and up to North Carolina, where it then diverts and goes across the Atlantic.

With ocean temperatures in the region temporarily spiking as much as 0.1 to 0.2 degrees above normal in the last seven years, “we’re heading into an ocean that could do it.” Ocean currents ...

A little-known ocean current surrounds Antarctica, shielding it from warm water farther north. But our new research published in Geophysical Research Letters shows Antarctica's melting ice is ...

Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed up the current. But observations to date indicate the strength of the current has remained relatively stable over recent decades.
