Emerging scientific research suggests a grim reality where the Atlantic Ocean’s formidable currents may collapse within the next few decades. This potential collapse, fuelled by the relentless ...
A new study projects that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)—the system of currents that includes the Gulf Stream—could shut down after 2100 under high-emission scenarios. This ...
The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major oceanic current determining global climate that is showing signs of weakening. It transports warmer waters northwards in the Atlantic ...
An analysis of clam shells suggests the North Atlantic subpolar gyre has had two periods of destabilization over the past 150 years: one around 1920 and the other from 1950 through present. When you ...
A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...
The North Atlantic subpolar gyre, a system of ocean currents pivotal to global climate regulation, is showing signs of instability that could lead to significant environmental shifts. Recent research ...
