Ocean-atmosphere coupling, the exchange in energy between the ocean and atmosphere, influences teleconnection patterns, the climate effects across vast geographical areas. However, its impact outside ...

During the AMO+, the meridional gradient of the surface temperatures decreases, triggering more atmospheric blockings over Greenland (red rings with clockwise arrows). This high-pressure system ...

Understanding the complex interactions between ocean basins is critical for advancing decadal climate forecasting and unraveling the mechanisms driving global climate variability. It is of prime ...

Scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming patterns and the speeding up of deep ocean circulation.

New research reveals how ocean warming triggered the large-scale retreat of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS)—offering vital clues for understanding its modern-day vulnerability. NEGIS is the ...
