A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

Four key climate systems are showing signs of instability and approaching tipping points with potentially abrupt and ...

A new study affirms that a critical system of Atlantic Ocean currents that shunt warm and cold water between the poles is “on course” to a tipping point. If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...

Oceans last year reached their highest levels in three decades – with the rate of global sea level rise increasing around 35% higher than expected, according to a NASA-led analysis published Thursday.

For around 2,000 years, global sea levels varied little. That changed in the 20th century. They started rising and have not stopped since — and the pace is accelerating. Scientists are scrambling to ...

An upper-level low–more precisely, a closed upper low–is a pool of relatively cold air in the atmosphere, generally above 15 thousand feet, about which the wind circulation forms a closed, nearly ...

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 ...
