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 ...

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, ...

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

Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse ...

This study analyzes the response of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to different CO₂ concentrations and two ice sheet configurations in simulations with the coupled climate ...

Scientists from the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) have provided new evidence that ocean circulation changes lagged behind, and were not the cause of, major climate changes at the beginning ...

Your News Feature “A sea change” (Nature 439, 256–260; 2006) states that evidence for the huge effects on climate of past thermohaline shutdowns is “near indisputable”. You then claim that the best ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a solar desalinator with high water output, via a multi-stage system of evaporators and condensers. It offers cost-effective ...

Gloomy climate calculation: Scientists predict a collapse of the Atlantic ocean current to happen mid-century. Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the ...
