The weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could alter weather and ecosystems throughout the world.

Atlantic Ocean currents that are vital for keeping Earth's climate in check will halve in strength by 2100 and may be closer to collapse than first thought, a new study finds. The Atlantic Meridional ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

It's almost certain that El Niño is coming later this year, and we don't know how strong it will be, but some scientists ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...
