Ocean circulation also serves as the mediator between large-scale climate variability and impacts on marine ecosystems. The Oceans and Climate Lab at CU Boulder seeks to better understand the ocean ...

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system — called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC — in computer models and found no evidence of long-term weakening ...

Eddies are large, rotating currents that contribute to ocean mixing and transport of heat and salt in seawater. Importantly, ...

A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has not weakened since the 1960s — but there's no doubt ...

Published in Nature Communications, the research suggests that a weakening ocean circulation could lead to increased carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere, contrary to previous beliefs.

Tracking salmon sharks with custom-built sensors is helping researchers study ocean temperatures, salinity shifts, and ...

The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that when carbon dioxide levels rise more gradually, they have less impact on the ocean circulation. UW News sat ...

Eddies are large, rotating currents that contribute to ocean mixing and transport of heat and salt in seawater. Importantly, eddies modify ocean circulation and can influence climate variability by ...
