So it's a far more accurate way to assess how the current's strength and behaviour will change as the world warms. It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation.

A weakening ACC could have far-reaching effects on global climate patterns, marine ecosystems, and even allow invasive species to reach Antarctica as the current’s natural barrier function diminishes.

The world's strongest ocean current is slowing down and scientists are blaming it on the unchecked melting Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which flows across ...

Earth's largest iceberg has run aground off the coast of South Georgia Island, a common rendezvous spot for big bergs, new ...

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 ...

A sequel to the popular first version from 2011, the new visualization now shows currents not just at the water's surface.

Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict ... The ECCO project includes hundreds of millions of real-world measurements of temperature, salinity, sea ...

We explore the science behind deadly rip currents with ocean safety expert Bruckner Chase and scientist Greg Dusek ...

So it’s a far more accurate way to assess how the current’s strength and behaviour will change as the world warms. It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation.

A system of ocean currents called the Atlantic meridional ... of Antarctic bottom water — the densest ocean water in the world, which forms when salty water at the surface of the Southern ...

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