During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean's powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty ...
The Atlantic Ocean has long been treated as a permanent fixture on world maps, a blue expanse separating North America from ...
The last ice age did not shut down Atlantic ocean currents, and that discovery may help explain future climate risks.
Previous AMOC studies relied on sea surface temperature data. A CTD rosette device measures the ocean’s conductivity, temperature, and depth by collecting water samples at varying depths, makingmodels ...
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 ocean is continuously ventilated when surface waters sink and transport, for example, oxygen and carbon to greater depths ...
During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
