Models show that as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation gets weaker, the Gulf Stream will drift northwards. There ...

Changes in the Gulf Stream, a strong ocean current in the Atlantic, could serve as an early warning of the imminent collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a ...

Current and wave measurements provide essential data for evaluating how water movement affects coastal infrastructure ...

The retreat of ice in the Barents Sea could be strengthening a key ocean current that regulates global climate.

In the study, researchers compared two such parameterizations: one developed by Fox-Kemper in 2011 and another developed in 2023 by co-author Abigail Bodner ScM’20 PhD’21, assistant professor of Earth ...

Shifts in the Gulf Stream could help researchers predict the human-driven failure of a huge system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

Scientists have identified the ominous 'red flags' that hint that a key ocean current is nearing collapse.

A sudden northward jump in the Gulf Stream’s path near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, could give scientists roughly 25 years of advance warning before the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

Scenes in ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ show massive tsunamis, a new ice age and certain death for millions after a key ocean current stopped circulating. Though the star-studded film is fictional, ...

The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study indicates. Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from ...

Scientists have documented surface currents in the Northern Hemisphere that turn left of the wind, not right. That reversal changes how researchers may forecast weather, track floating debris, and ...
