Natural external forcing causes changes in sea-ice mediated export of freshwater into areas of active deep convection, affecting the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and thereby northward heat transport to the Arctic. This in turn leads to sustained anomalies in sea ...

As crews work to remove potentially hundreds of thousands of tons of hazardous materials from the Los Angeles wildfires, researchers and officials are trying to understand how the fires on land have impacted the sea Associated PressFeb. 16, 2025 Eastern U.S. Braces for Flooding While Fire-Damage...
Sea surface temperatureArcticCCACCMObservationsArctic sea ice plays a pivotal role in shaping the climate system at high latitudes, acting as both an indicator and driver of climate change processes in this sensitive region. Its seasonal variability and long-term decline have far-reaching implications...
Although about 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice, it is technically a desert (the largest on earth) with very little precipitation. Antarctica is colder than the Arctic because much of the continent is more than 3 kilometers (2 miles) above sea level, and because the Arctic Ocean covers...
