(GIN) Sea plunge downward when they meet the colder waters from more northerly produced fresh water, southward-drifting ice, and a colder atmosphere. This producesNorth Atlantic Deep Water(NADW), which circulates in the world ocean. An increase in this freshwater and ice export could shut ...
Climate The wind and pressure systems of the Pacific conform closely to theplanetary system—the patterns of air pressure and the consequent wind patterns that develop in the atmosphere of the Earth as a result of its rotation (Coriolis force) and theinclinationof its axis (ecliptic) toward the...
The second-largest ocean on Earth, the Atlantic drives our weather patterns, including hurricanes, and is home to many species from sea turtles to dolphins.
The largest ocean on Earth is filled with mysteries, but also subject to great pressures like climate change, plastic pollution, and overfishing.
it plays a remarkable role in maintaining Earth’s temperature. Picture the sea as an enormous, heat-hoarding solar panel, absorbing and dissipating the sun’s energy, especially in tropical waters along the equator. Meanwhile, the land and atmosphere help retain warmth, preventing it from escapin...
This is because oceans slowly absorb the heat from the atmosphere and take a long time to respond to changes in greenhouse gas levels.How do increased water temperatures harm our oceans?Warming oceans will have wide-ranging impacts on the fish, plants, and other marine organisms that live in ...

being converted into sugars which are used for energy. As well as oxygen production, phytoplankton’s other main job is carbon sequestration, again through photosynthesis. They capture and securely store carbon from the atmosphere, protecting us from warmer temperatures...
Even though there were systematic errors of rainfall over estimations for the Basin, the CGCM had better performance than the AGCM at the spatial representation and showed positive correlation coefficients with observation values. These facts corroborate that ocean-atmosphere coupling is an important ...
