Climate change has many culprits, from agriculture to transportation to energy production. Now, add another: the deep ocean ...

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is a fundamental parameter in the study of the Earth’s climate system, influencing ocean circulation, air–sea interactions and the global water cycle. Advances in satellite ...

Cracking, creaking ice at the bottom of the world is quietly shaping the future climate you live in. New research from ...

The near-bottom water on the U.S. Northeast continental shelf provides a critical cold-water habitat for the rich regional marine ecosystem. This 'cold pool' preserves winter temperatures, even when ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015, the frozen continent has lost sea ice similar to the size of Greenland.

An Argo ocean float was lost in the Antarctic for months under the Denman and Shackleton ice shelves, and it returned with ...

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline. Since 2015, Antarctica has lost sea ice equal to the ...

Dehradun: Variations in subsurface temperature and salinity in the Indian Ocean—often invisible to conventional ...

Algae growth on an Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Surface Mooring, which measured water properties and velocity at the US Northeast shelfbreak, right after recovery. Woods Hole, Mass. (May 19, ...
