The heat wave battering Europe may have an unlikely partner in crime: a patch of cold ocean water south of Iceland and ...

A new study suggests the Atlantic's mysterious "cold blob" may signal ocean current changes that could affect U.S. weather.

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

The ocean's conveyor belts help regulate Earth's climate, and small shifts can ripple far beyond the sea 🌊🌍. This video ...

Florida State University researchers have identified key differences in the root causes of long-term sea-surface temperature ...

A patch of unusually cold water in the North Atlantic may provide some of the strongest evidence yet that a major ocean current system is slowing down. Scientists say this development could have ...

The critical system of ocean currents which loops around the Atlantic Ocean is weakening and could be far closer to collapse than previously thought, according to two new studies — an event which ...

A Primer Every few years, the world’s weather patterns are significantly influenced by a phenomenon known as El Niño. This climate occurrence stems from the warming of ocean waters in the central and ...

A drifter is a buoyant surface float tethered to a weighted sea anchor, called a drogue, that hangs about 50 feet (15 meters) below the surface. The anchor lets the float track the water’s motion ...

The potential collapse of a key Atlantic ocean current − due to human-caused climate change − is in the news again. You'd be hard-pressed to come up with a scarier scenario than what's going on now ...
