So it's a far more accurate way to assess how the current's strength and behaviour will change as the world warms. It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation.

A recent study published in the Journal of Climate reveals that two distinct bands in the world’s oceans are warming at ...

Scientists using satellite data to analyze the behavior of the world's oceans have spotted unusual forces operating on and ...

Arctic ocean is warming at record pace, threatening collapse of AMOC and heightening risk of severe coastal flooding in ...

Recent studies show the melting ice sheets surrounding Antarctica are having repercussions on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current. This change could ...

But why is this cold ocean current getting stronger? This current, which starts near Australia, is already among the strongest in the world. Using a recently developed high-resolution ocean model, ...

A vital system of ocean currents could collapse within a few decades if the world continues to pump out planet-heating pollution, scientists are warning – an event that would be catastrophic for ...

It's called the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC ... To do this, the world must focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the ocean absorbing more atmospheric heat that's ultimately ...

A new study gives alarming glimpse into the future, as some scientists warn these currents could be just decades from ...

a three-dimensional system of ocean currents that act as a "conveyer belt" to distribute heat, salt, nutrients, and carbon dioxide across the world's oceans. Changes in the AMOC's strength could ...
