The ocean’s thermohaline circulation, a system of various ocean currents and water-mass conveyors, is crucial for distributing heat, salinity, minerals, dissolved gases, and nutrients around the globe, sustaining a habitable planet. In the Atlantic, this circulation, a continuous conveyor-belt of interconnected currents, is known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a […]

Scientists collect water and sediment samples to study how the oceans and climate are changing. Eugene Bergh, Author providedWhether the water at your local beach is being roiled by nasty weather or is a perfectly calm expanse of blue, there’s always a great deal going on under the surface. The ocean is composed of various currents and water masses; those currents flow around the world through what is called thermohaline circulation. This circulation drives the distribution of heat, salinity and

Oceanographic systems vary over years, decades and centuries.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) moves warm water from the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the South Atlantic into the North

In late July, a study published in Nature Communications warned that a critical ocean system that brings warm water up the North Atlantic, also known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), was at risk of collapse by 2095 for want of drastic emissions cuts.
