New research reveals the surprising ways atmospheric winds influence ocean eddies, shaping the ocean's weather patterns in ...

Each of these changes affect marine wildlife ... it doesn't add volume to the ocean, but it does add freshwater, locally decreasing the saltiness of the sea. Saltiness and temperature are the drivers ...

The results demonstrate one way that warmer ocean temperatures caused by climate change could affect marine ecosystems ... adding that “the only way we were able to do this is through a massive ...

How fast the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide — and with it, the temperature — goes up matters for the ability of humans and ecosystems to adjust. A slower increase gives humans time to move away ...

Density in particular is an important property in ocean science ... Temperature can therefore be determined through direct measurements of these properties. But how do we define a numerical ...

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, ...

These weather patterns, known as eddies, are circular currents ... surface and ocean weather patterns interact. Scientists formerly believed atmospheric wind had a damping effect, slowing the ...

shaping the ocean's weather patterns in more complex ways than previously believed. Much like the windy weather patterns that affect the Earth's surface, our planet's oceans experience their own ...
