During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...

An analysis of clam shells suggests the North Atlantic subpolar gyre has had two periods of destabilization over the past 150 years: one around 1920 and the other from 1950 through present. When you ...

A key ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean is weakening to the point of total collapse due to climate change, a new study warns. Scientists say the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre – a massive system ...

The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. In recent years, ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

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.

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
