A growing body of peer-reviewed research and recent preprints points to statistical warning signs that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the ocean conveyor belt that includes the Gulf ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the ocean current system that includes the Gulf Stream and regulates weather patterns across much of the Northern Hemisphere, is showing signs of ...

Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, makingmodels ...

However, the links between AMOC, carbon levels, and isotopic variations are still not yet well understood. New modeling efforts in a pair of studies by Schmittner and Schmittner and Boling simulate an ...

A pair of meteorologists in the Netherlands has used new simulations to show just how cold many of Europe's cities could get if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) were to collapse ...

The collapse of a crucial network of Atlantic Ocean currents could push parts of the world into a deep freeze, with winter temperatures plunging to around minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities, ...

A critical ocean current is unlikely to shut down before the end of this century even under the most extreme climate scenarios, according to new findings that undermine doomsday predictions of an ...

Many of us have a way of taking the oceans for granted. A place to surf, perhaps, or to enjoy other water sports, or simply admire while sitting on the beach. Those who make their livings in far ...
