The boundaries of this sea are vague, defined not by landmasses but by five major currents that swirl ... of the vast whirlpool known as the North Atlantic gyre, often has been described as ...

This enormous system of currents is known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Climate scientists are increasingly worried about the AMOC, which appears to be slowing down.

the research team was able to demonstrate how particles found on the surface of the gyre might have reached this region. Taking into account the hugely varied currents in the North Atlantic ...

The North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre, a vast system of rotating ocean currents, transports heat from the tropics, helping regulate temperatures in Europe and North America. It also supports the ...

Europe is warmed by heat from ocean currents, which move water from the warm tropics to the colder North Atlantic. Once the warm, salty water from the tropics reach the polar region, they cool ...
