Water rolls up onto a North Carolina beach as Hurricane Florence approaches in this 2018 photo. Climate change is making it harder for surface water to mix with cooler water from the ocean floor, ...

WASHINGTON -- One of the key drivers of the world's climate is an area in the North Atlantic Ocean where warmer and colder water mix and swirl. When scientists went for their first close look at this ...

Scientists have discovered a previously undetected water mass in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean: a gigantic body of water stretching across the Atlantic from the tip of Brazil to the Gulf of Guinea, ...

Carbon storage in Earth’s oceans is controlled by deep-sea mixing processes, but the details have proved difficult to test. Ambitious efforts to track ocean mixing using dye have now demonstrated the ...

At first glance, the meeting point of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans looks like a dramatic clash between two separate bodies of water. The difference in water color, often observed in places like ...

When you think of the changing climate, the first thing that likely comes to mind is extreme weather swirling about in the atmosphere. But focus on the oceans — they ultimately control our climate ...

The ocean is dynamic in nature, playing a crucial role as a planetary thermostat that buffer global warming. However, in response to climate change, the ocean has generally become stabler over the ...

Wave-induced mixing represents a critical process within the upper ocean, where the interplay of surface wave mechanics drives vertical transport of mass, energy and momentum. The resulting turbulence ...

Colossal undersea mountains, towering up to thousands of metres high, stir up deep sea currents: impacting how our ocean stores heat and carbon. An international team used numerical modelling to ...
