Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth, is rapidly weakening due to the accelerating melt of Antarctica’s ice sheet. According to a new study published in ...

You'll see how warm and cold water interact and learn about density currents that occur in oceans and atmosphere. See this experiment demonstrated step by step in this video. Notice how the ...

The findings create a murky outlook for the future. Scientists issue urgent warning about mysterious 'cold blob' in the ocean: 'Most likely underestimated' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Freshwater from melting ice sheets can slow the critical ocean circulation that helps regulate the planet’s climate ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

They are warm or cold when compared to the temperature of water you would expect for a latitude. Ocean currents are continuous movements of water in the Earth’s oceans. They are driven by both ...

When ocean currents flow around the planet, they move warm and cold water with them, changing the climate and weather as they go. For example, Britain would actually be much colder if it wasn’t ...

It started in the deep waters, where warm and cold ocean currents shifted. Then, in 2012, New England experienced unusually warm air temperatures as well. Dr. Fields held a tiny jellyfish brought ...

Climate models predict that even under extreme warming, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken but not collapse entirely – although this could still have serious impacts ...

Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately ... feet (600 meters) in a cold river of water that is roughly the opposite of the warm Gulf Stream at the surface.

A new study of glaciers in Antarctica finds that warm ocean currents contribute to melting glaciers. Geophysicist and lead study author Jamin Greenbaum discusses. Photo: Jamin Greenbaum Trump ...
