Climate change is warming Europe, but scientists are also studying whether a weakened Atlantic current could make Britain colder, with Laurie Laybourne, director of the Strategic Climate Risks ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

RASCOE: And while most of us like to sit by the ocean, NPR's Short Wave podcast is diving in, with this story from producer Hannah Chinn on how the ocean and the atmosphere affect each other.

Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections. The ...

A cold blob of water in the North Atlantic is an ominous sign that a system of currents that regulate the planet's climate could be weakening. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the “AMOC,” is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s ...
