Oxygen depletion in the western Baltic Sea is not uncommon. Oxygen-poor conditions regularly occur in deeper waters, placing ...

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

Data assimilation integrates observational data with numerical ocean models to produce accurate estimates and forecasts of the ocean state. Techniques range from variational methods, which adjust ...

In the field of oceanography, researchers have been successful at simulating the ocean’s large-scale behavior but have struggled to capture smaller turbulent motions that play a key role in moving ...

A storm rolling into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico, a regional ocean, is hugged by the southeastern United States and a large stretch of the Mexican coast, making it very important for both ...

Climate and ocean dynamics modelling encompasses the simulation of interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and land surface to understand and predict Earth’s climate system. At its core ...

Rivers deliver freshwater, nutrients, and carbon to Earth's oceans, influencing the chemistry of coastal seawater worldwide. Notably, a river's alkalinity and the levels of dissolved inorganic carbon ...

A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets ...

During the AMO+, the meridional gradient of the surface temperatures decreases, triggering more atmospheric blockings over Greenland (red rings with clockwise arrows). This high-pressure system ...

With unique monsoon, mesoscale and submesoscale processes, the Indian Ocean offers critical insights and new challenges to ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
