Gulf Stream shift may be early warning of catastrophic current collapse

Researchers at Utrecht University report that, in high-resolution ocean simulations, an abrupt northward shift of the Gulf ...

How a shift in the Gulf Stream could signal the collapse of a major ocean current system

Changes in the Gulf Stream, a strong ocean current in the Atlantic, could serve as an early warning of the imminent collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a ...

Modeling Antarctic Ocean Currents

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

Offshore wind farms change ocean current patterns, simulations show

Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...

Computer simulations show nightmare Atlantic current shutdown less likely this century

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, ...
