Antarctica sets the stage for the world's greatest waterfall. The action takes place beneath the surface of the ocean. Here, trillions of tons of cold, dense, oxygen-rich water cascade off the ...
Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...
Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, making ...
Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater pouring off the Antarctic ice sheet may be reorganizing the planet’s ocean ...
“Corkran’s systematic evaluations revealed two new processes,” says Boutt, professor of Earth, geographic, and climate sciences at UMass Amherst and the paper’s senior author. AMHERST, Mass. — One of ...
