A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study indicates. Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from ...

The circulation of the atmosphere is characterized by features such as polar fronts, mid-latitude jet streams (fast-flowing narrow air currents) and a tropical meridional (north–south) overturning ...

One of the world’s most important ocean currents is dangerously weakening but new research suggests it is unlikely to stop entirely in the near future. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, ...

What Makes the Wind Blow explains the fundamental forces behind wind and air movement using real-world and laboratory demonstrations. The film shows that wind is caused by differences in air pressure, ...
