The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern ...

Basic circulation model indicates that increasing global wind power by 18-34 times from 1 Terawatt today will be like doubling atmospheric CO2. This would be counter to the stated goals of reducing ...

As the planet's oceans are gradually warmed by the effects of climate change, a huge area in the North Atlantic stands out as an unusual zone of relative cooling. A region that stretches roughly from ...

A huge stretch of the Southern Indian Ocean is rapidly losing its salt, and scientists warn this subtle shift could quietly disrupt global ocean currents and marine life in unexpected ways.

A look into Eath's history shows that the ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification ...

Maps show projected sea surface temperature trends over 2015-2099 due to moderate-high greenhouse gas emissions. The upper map includes a model where winds can't change the ocean circulation, and the ...
