Deep in the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a massive system of currents that span the entire ocean from south to north in a vertical loop. It brings warmer ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Mesoscale ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing underneath Antarctic ice shelves, contributing to melting. Scientists at the ...

Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is projected to weaken the world’s most powerful ocean current by 20 percent in the next quarter century, an international team of scientists concluded in a ...

Most people picture weather as something that happens in the sky. Storms form, fronts collide, jet streams wobble, and rain falls. But a huge share of what plays out overhead actually starts ...

Ocean mysteries are being unlocked in a biologically rich and well-used deep-sea laboratory just off our own shores. Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s seafloor plunges deeply, quickly in places ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...
