The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden ...

The analysis probes the co-variability of atmospheric vertical motion and precipitation with SSTs over the main western boundary currents of both hemispheres using high-resolution reanalysis, ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

Climate change is rapidly freshening one of Earth’s saltiest ocean regions in the Southern Indian Ocean, potentially disrupting circulation.

West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...

Northeast Greenland is home to the 79 N Glacier -- the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming: warm water from the Atlantic is melting it from ...

The East/Japan Sea is a complex and dynamic marginal sea whose circulation patterns are governed by a combination of local atmospheric forcing, basin geometry, and exchanges with surrounding margins.

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...
