The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the most powerful ocean current on Earth, is slowing down due to the rapid melting of Antarctic ice sheets. Scientists project a 20% slowdown by 2050, a shift ...

Earth is a dynamic planet ... The combination of oceanic and atmospheric circulation drives global climate by redistributing heat and moisture. Areas located near the tropics remain warm and ...

The world's sea ice hit a record low in February, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported. This decline is due to pollutants that lead to global warming . The total area of Arctic and ...

As warm air rises and cold air sinks it forms three atmospheric circulation cells north of the equator and three to the south. These circulation cells move over land and sea to redistribute the ...

A weakening of the North Atlantic overturning circulation would cause the ocean to absorb less carbon dioxide - and this is ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the strongest ocean current on Earth, is rapidly weakening due to the accelerating ...

There seems to be too much of a radioactive element in rocks deep in the Pacific Ocean – how did it get there 10 million years ago?

Between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago, the Earth experienced significant climatic changes, including the rapid retreat of ice ...

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

This process maintains the global energy balance. Scientists have studied atmospheric circulation and have agreed on a simplified model to explain the redistribution of energy from areas of ...
