Ocean circulation also serves as the mediator between large-scale climate variability and impacts on marine ecosystems. The Oceans and Climate Lab at CU Boulder seeks to better understand the ocean ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...

A team of researchers reconstructed this critical ocean circulation system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models. They found no evidence of ...

Tracking salmon sharks with custom-built sensors is helping researchers study ocean temperatures, salinity shifts, and ...

Specifically, I read this study that was looking at this idea in the context of the AMOC, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which is this large-scale ocean circulation. That study ...

A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that's crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more stable ...

"It has now come loose from this circulation feature and is ... As for the effect on humans, "while the berg is large it is easily avoided by Southern Ocean shipping operators, who are well ...

Studies have suggested large changes in sea level (up to ... it is likely that a combination of ocean and atmospheric circulation changes were involved. For example, a subtle shift in atmospheric ...

It has also slowed the deepest current in the global overturning circulation, a system of ocean currents that circulates ... fast currents — large mussel-shaped scoops were discovered.
