The Arctic is warming at three to four times the global average. However, new research suggests the slowing of a key ocean current could reduce projected Arctic warming by up to 2 degrees Celsius by ...

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, makingmodels ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, commonly referred to as the “AMOC,” is a system of ocean currents confined to the Atlantic basin that plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s ...

A critical ocean current is unlikely to shut down before the end of this century even under the most extreme climate scenarios, according to new findings that undermine doomsday predictions of an ...

A collapse of the Amoc mega-current wouldn’t just bring back polar-style winters to Europe — Dutch researchers warn there’s an even graver risk. Once treated with skepticism, the idea that Amoc (the ...

Southern Europe's already scorching dry summers could get even worse over the next 1,000 years if a key ocean current system collapses — with a rise in extreme droughts and longer dry seasons, a new ...

The nightmare scenario of Atlantic Ocean currents collapsing, with weather running amok and putting Europe in a deep freeze, looks unlikely this century, a new study concludes. In recent years, ...

In 2023, a study from Danish scientists offered a bleak “warning of a forthcoming collapse” of an important ocean current known as the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, or AMOC. This was ...

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to ...
