Measurements by buoys at four latitudes in the western Atlantic provide the strongest evidence yet that the Atlantic ...

Scientists have detected a northward Gulf Stream shift that may signal a looming Atlantic climate tipping point.

There's an underwater conveyor belt flowing through the Atlantic that keeps Europe warm and regulates climate across the globe. Yet this enormous system might be heading toward a breaking point. The ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the "AMOC," is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's ...

A certain current in the Atlantic Ocean that is essential for temperature regulation is in danger of collapsing. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, also known as the AMOC, runs the ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...

Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. An international ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden climate change by disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...
