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.

As Antarctic ice melts, vast amounts of freshwater flow into the Southern Ocean, altering its salinity and density.

Explore the impact of Antarctic ice melt on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and global climate change predictions.

A Chicago-sized iceberg recently broke away from Antarctica, giving scientists the chance to explore a portion of the sea ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's most powerful ocean current, is slowing down as the Antarctic ice sheets melt. The influx of freshwater into the Southern Ocean is altering its ...

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 ...

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.

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