While eastern boundary currents in the subtropical ocean basins are relatively shallow, cover a wide region and are often associated with upwelling, WBCs tend to be narrow, deep-reaching, fast flowing ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning ...

A new report suggests that global warming may increase upwelling in several ocean current systems around the world by the end of this century, especially at high latitudes, and will cause major ...

A new study finds slowing ocean currents are reducing nutrient upwelling, leading to less phytoplankton growth and increased CO2 release, potentially exacerbating climate change.

CORVALLIS, Ore. - A report to be published Thursday in the journal Nature suggests that global warming may increase upwelling in several ocean current systems around the world by the end of this ...

That dip in the ocean after a nice long nap on the beach has not been pleasant for many at the Jersey Shore in recent days. It’s because ocean temperatures have dropped to the upper 50s to middle 60s, ...

The difference is mainly due to ocean currents. At the north edge of the Atlantic Ocean, ... Major sites of upwelling include the northern part of the Indian Ocean and the North Pacific.

Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting of Antarctic ice shelves, threatening a significant rise in sea levels. A new study published in Nature Communications has revealed ...

A new study found that the Indian Ocean's Agulhas Current is getting wider rather than strengthening. The findings, which have important implications for global climate change, suggest that ...

The resulting separation reduces upwelling, which is the ocean’s way of mixing the surface and deep waters to feed marine life. Advertisement Become a KPBS sponsor ...

SAN DIEGO — A new study out of UCSD determined climate change is responsible for altering global ocean currents, making them faster and thinner. The study was led by researchers out of Scripps ...
