ABSTRACT Ocean heat uptake and the thermohaline circulation are analyzed in present-day control, 1% increasing CO₂, and doubled CO₂ runs of the Community Climate System Model, version 2 (CCSM2). It is ...

With that mouthful of a title, our friends at MyReadingMapped have again created a very interesting map for us to check out. In their words: If you do an image search for the Thermohaline circulation, ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- If global warming shuts down the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, the result could be catastrophic climate change. The environmental effects, models indicate, ...

WASHINGTON — We’re now seeing a slowdown of the great ocean circulation that, among other planetary roles, helps to partly drive the Gulf Stream off the U.S. East Coast, according to a study just out ...

A direct link has been shown between the greatest increase in Phanerozoic marine biodiversity and the onset of a sudden icehouse. The onset of sudden icehouse conditions during the Mid Ordovician was ...

Earth's history is replete with wide-ranging climate changes. Analysis of ice core data from Greenland and Antarctica provide evidence that global temperatures have oscillated no fewer than 20 times ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These ...

One of the odd possibilities that could emerge from global warming is that much of Europe, robbed of the ocean current patterns that help keep it warm, could rather abruptly enter a deep freeze and ...

If you follow the latitude lines from much of Europe westward across the Atlantic, you tend to run into Canada. Even if you go to the southern tip of Spain, you’re not much further south than the ...

ABSTRACT The Atlantic Ocean’s thermohaline circulation is an important modulator of global climate. Its northern branch extends through the Nordic Seas to the cold Arctic, a region that appears to be ...
