A recent study published in Geophysical Research Lettersreveals how shifts in water density in the subpolar North Atlantic ...

“Our findings suggest a climatic link between the Subtropical and Subpolar North Atlantic, with the freshening aligning with a multi-decadal freshening event in the subpolar basins from over two ...

“Ocean memory in the subpolar North Atlantic is estimated to be approximately 18 years based on observations, while climate models suggest a range of 8–12 years,” the authors wrote.

In 2023, the North Atlantic Ocean broke heat records. Not just broke them, but smashed them. Now, researchers looking into ...

It’s the “off” phase—when the AMOC’s flow is greatly reduced, and landscapes surrounding the subpolar North Atlantic get sharply colder—that concerns many people, including the world ...

Sea surface temperatures in the subpolar North Atlantic have decreased by about .7 degrees Fahrenheit over the last century, and a trend toward a more frequent positive phase of the North Atlantic ...

"Researchers often consider an increase in sea ice extent and desalination in the subpolar North Atlantic as possible triggers for past cold periods, but processes in the tropical Atlantic appear ...

Source: Arellano-Nava et al. (2022). Other regional reconstructions indicate that after each episode, the wider subpolar North Atlantic experienced rapid changes. There was an abrupt cooling along the ...
