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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the world warms, melting sea ice will stabilize ocean circulation. The ocean thermohaline circulation, a major transporter of heat around the globe, determines much of our present climate. Because ...

Scientists are keenly aware that global ocean circulation continues to slow down and warning signs are beginning to point to what the world will look like in the decades to come. Researchers at the ...

Scientists have revealed an ominous climate calculation, based on greenhouse gas emissions, which predicts the Atlantic Ocean’s current will collapse around 2060 if emissions persist, according to ...

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 ...
