A research team led by Prof. Li Mingsong at Peking University has provided new insights into the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal ...

I’m really trying to offer an alternative to that system where you could, as a small company, very easily get access to data right away in sort of a live forecast model,” said the Current Lab founder.

However, others involve complex interactions between phenomena, so that changes to one cause cascading effects that are hard ...

Scientists have compared data from the last ice age, around 21,000 years ago, and modern records to see what happened to ...

Circular ocean currents, called “eddies,” play an important role in supplying nutrients for marine life and can stimulate ...

The AMOC is an important system of ocean currents. It transports warm water ... University in the Netherlands used a complex ...

A new study suggests that a slowdown in the AMOC could reduce Arctic warming projections by 2 degrees Celsius.

John Christian Fjellestad via Flickr The collapse of one of the world’s most important ocean currents, a disaster that would wreak havoc on Earth’s ecosystems, is generally considered unlikely. But in ...

In research published today in Nature, we show almost half of the heat waves and cold snaps reaching the ocean's twilight zone—between 200 and 1,000 meters—are driven by large eddy currents ...

The AMOC is the current that transports heat ... The research team used a coupled climate model, which integrates interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, land, and sea ice.

We used this rich data to uncover the role of eddy currents. Ocean eddies are huge loops of swirling current, sometimes hundreds of kilometres across and reaching down over 1,000 metres.
