The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role ...

Between Hawaii and California, trash swirls in giant ocean currents, caught up in the infamous, Texas-sized Great Pacific ...

And although this circulation pattern does develop in all their models, it is too weak to counteract the rising water, Baker says. “It's a very impressive and intriguing study,” says René van ...

When all three Milankovitch cycles reinforce each other, they alter solar input and influence oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns. This can lead to regular periods of cooling and glaciation.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, a massive system of ocean currents, helps regulate global weather patterns by transporting warm water north and cold water south.

Specifically, two consecutive years of a strong negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a shift in atmospheric pressure over the Atlantic that changes circulation and wind patterns, pushed ...

If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation were to collapse, it would have profound implications for global climate ...

Why this is the case, and how the Walker circulation might develop in the future, are urgent questions. After all, it impacts weather patterns far beyond the tropics: This can be witnessed during La ...
