Mesoscale eddies, oceanic swirling currents with typical horizontal scales of 10-100 kilometres in diameter, are ubiquitous features of the global ...

“Beyond urine, whale carcasses also serve as nutrient deposits. When a whale dies, its massive body sinks to the ocean floor, ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

However, a new study published in Nature on Wednesday suggests that while the AMOC is still in trouble, a key mechanism, wind-driven upwelling in the Southern Ocean, can prevent its total collapse ...

Recently, the blooms have been linked to ocean upwellings, where water loaded with rich nutrients from the deeper ocean is pushed closer to shore, sunlight stimulating the blooms. Blooms have been ...

The authors find that, in all models, the AMOC weakens but is sustained by upwelling in the Southern Ocean, driven by strong winds in that region. To understand the AMOC-sustaining mechanism ...

Researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel and MARUM - Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen have now shown that eddies play a crucial role in ...
