The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) serves as the Atlantic Ocean's conveyor belt, transporting warm water ...

The Greenland ice sheet has lost 20 percent more ice than scientists previously thought, posing potential problems for ocean circulation patterns and sea level rise, according to a new study.

But weakening of the oceanic circulation means the surface of the ocean south of Greenland has warmed much less than the rest. Reduced heat and salt transfer to the North Atlantic has meant more ...

In the changing climate, fresh water from Greenland and the Arctic could disrupt the circulation in the Atlantic Ocean. Meltwater that runs along the east coast of Greenland, hardly enters the ...

In the Atlantic Ocean circulation, the relatively warm and salty surface water near the equator flows toward Greenland. During its journey it crosses the Caribbean Sea, loops up into the Gulf of ...

The loss, however, may play a part in ocean circulation patterns, and how heat energy is distributed across the planet. However, scientists have previously found the Greenland ice sheet is the ...

The Atlantic ocean circulation has been monitored continuously since 2004. But a longer-term view is necessary to assess potential changes and their causes. There are various ways to work out what ...
