Emerging scientific research suggests a grim reality where the Atlantic Ocean’s formidable currents may collapse within the next few decades. This potential collapse, fuelled by the relentless ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a major oceanic current determining global climate that is showing signs of weakening. It transports warmer waters northwards in the Atlantic ...
