A study published Monday concluded that melting ice in Greenland caused by climate change could cause the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to collapse as soon as 2025, ushering ...
In the northern, western hemisphere, it is called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a critical part of the Earth’s energy balance which regulates the climate.
When the fate of an ocean current system tops headlines during a historic heat wave, it’s a strange week for climate science. A new study last week predicted the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...
Environmental Modeling Center develops and improves numerical weather, climate, hydrological and ocean prediction through a broad program in partnership with the research community. National Hurricane Center provides forecasts of the movement and strength of tropical weather systems and issues watches and warnings for the North Atlantic and the ...
Climate activist Greta Thunberg made a double crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 2019 to attend climate conferences in New York City and, until it was moved, Santiago, Chile.. She sailed from Plymouth, UK, to New York, United States aboard the racing yacht Malizia II (the Italian for "malice"), returning from Hampton, Virginia, to Lisbon on the catamaran La Vagabon
Climate change has likely been driving the observed trend of rapid intensification of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin, with the proportion of storms undergoing intensification nearly doubling over the years 1982 to 2009. [36] [37] Rapidly intensifying cyclones are hard to forecast and pose additional risk to coastal communities. [38]
Young climate activists poured into Tallahassee from around the state this week for what they touted as the biggest youth-led rally and lobby day for climate and energy policy in the history of ...
NADW is formed because North Atlantic is a rare place in the ocean where precipitation, which adds fresh water to the ocean and so reduces its salinity, is outweighed by evaporation, in part due to high windiness. When water evaporates, it leaves salt behind, and so the surface waters of the North Atlantic are particularly salty.
