As meteorologists watch the tropics during the quiet winter months, a different kind of signal is drawing attention. The ...

A warm wind shift is unfolding in a remote part of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. And despite its geographical isolation, it could signal the start of a planetary change in ocean temperatures and ...

The interactions between global climate change and ocean oscillations -- fluctuating cycles in wind and ocean temperatures -- are impacting weather patterns in the Greater Mara-Serengeti ecosystem in ...

The maximum Antarctic sea ice extent in 2023, shown here, was the lowest on record. The yellow line shows the average winter maximum of satellite observations from 1981 to 2010. New research shows ...

The ocean’s calendar is being rewritten, and human activity is holding the pen. Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic ...

Most of Earth's fresh water is locked in the ice that covers Antarctica. As the ocean and atmosphere grow warmer, that ice is melting at a startling pace with sea levels and global currents changing ...

Tropical upwelling zones are often overshadowed by their higher-latitude counterparts in ocean science, yet they play an ...

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world's largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth's history, researchers ...
