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 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 ...

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.

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, ...

West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...
