Barcelona and London both lie north of New York, yet winters in these two European cities are warmer than winters in the northeastern United States (Fig. 1). It would seem easy to attribute this difference simply to the fact that Europe lies downwind of the warm North Atlantic Ocean. But ...
Cold seeps are the areas of the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occur. Such seeps occur over fissures on the seafloor caused by tectonic activity. Fluid seepage out of those fissures gets diffused by sediment, and emerges over an area several...

The Younger Dryas (YD) cold interval is one of the most abrupt climate events of Earth's recent history. The origin of this rapid, severe cooling episode is still widely debated, but it was probably triggered by a large freshwater influx to the North Atlantic resulting in disruption of the...
aIceland is a large island in the Atlantic Ocean.It has mountains,glaciers(frozen lakes for ice),cold desert,some farmland and even active volcanos with hot springs 冰岛是一个大海岛在它有山的大西洋。,冰川(结冰的湖为冰),冷的沙漠、一些农田和甚而活火山与温泉[translate]...
The Gulf Stream, which runs like a friendly blue river across the cold green Atlantic Ocean, is one of the mightiest powers in the worlD. By comparison, the Mississippi and the mighty Amazon are but small rivers. Two million tons of coal burned every minute would not equal the heat that...
Ocean climate of the South East Atlantic observed from satellite data and wind models The near-coastal South East Atlantic Ocean off Africa is a unique and highly dynamic environment, comprising the cool Benguela Current, warm Angola Current... NJ Hardman-Mountford,AJ Richardson,JJ Agenbag,......
Conversely, in other subregions and globally, although MLD generally deepens with increasing MCS intensity, the extent of this deepening gradually diminishes. Remarkably, an intriguing phenomenon emerges in the Atlantic Ocean (Figures 3f and 3h), Indian Ocean (Figures 3j and 3l), and globally (...
The atmospheric response seems to be due primarily due to an increase of the heat loss along the North Atlantic Current and the subpolar gyre, associated with an AMOC-driven warming. Sea-ice changes appear to be less important. The stronger heating is associated to a southward shift of the ...
Due to its large northward heat transport, the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation influences both weather and climate at the mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere. Here we use a state-of-the-art global weather/climate modeling system with high resolu
