Ocean's 'heart' is slowing down — and it will affect the entire planet's circulation

Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers ...

Antarctic ice melt could weaken world’s strongest ocean current: What that means for Earth

• The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, Earth’s strongest ocean current, is projected to weaken by about 20% by 2050 due to freshwater from melting Antarctic ice sheets. • Unlike previous predictions ...

Computer simulations reveal hurricane currents can knock down surface wave heights

Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) have concluded how and why strong ocean currents modify surface waves. "Our ...
