Our new research suggests the Antarctic Circumpolar Current will be 20% slower by 2050 as the world warms ... sea lions' backs to help them map the elusive ocean floor. Scientists are preparing ...

More accurate maps based on data from the SWOT mission can improve underwater navigation and result in greater knowledge of ...

Currents also move nutrients and salt throughout Earth's ocean basins. Swirling vortexes of the Agulhas rings stand out in ECCO temperature and salinity maps as they move warm, salty water from ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

The Southern Ocean, which circles the globe without being blocked by land, is home to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the longest of the world's ocean currents. Also known as the "channel ...

Climate models predict that even under extreme warming, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation will weaken but not collapse entirely – although this could still have serious impacts ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is a clockwise current over 4 times stronger than the Gulf Stream. Scientists have issued a warning that the world's strongest ocean current is slowing down due ...

So it's a far more accurate way to assess how the current's strength and behaviour will change as the world warms. It picks up the intricate interactions between ice melting and ocean circulation.
