Tropical waters are not as thermally stable as once thought. Ocean waters vary widely in temperature over space and time, but the spatial and temporal resolution of remotely sensed sea surface ...

Research from Oregon State University suggests that the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could ...

A strengthening El Niño over record-hot oceans could reshape weather worldwide. Here’s what it means, how it affects us, and what we can still do.

A rare combination of two major ocean climate patterns is drawing the attention of meteorologists this year. According to an analysis by Severe Weather Europe, a rare Atlantic Niña developing in the ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

Subtropical oceans across the planet, including regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, have surged to record levels of warmth, and that may be having the counterintuitive effect: fewer ...

El Niño may drive California’s winter weather, but Atlantic La Niña and warm ocean waters could add complexity to the forecast.

Ocean temperatures may be quietly protecting the world from a global drought catastrophe. By analyzing more than a century of climate data, researchers discovered that droughts rarely spread across ...

The eastern tropical Pacific Ocean is known for its large low-oxygen zones that are increasing in size, putting marine life at risk. New research shows that 15 million years ago, the opposite was true ...

You may have noticed that most plane routes avoid flying directly over the Pacific Ocean, and the reasoning behind that ...
