Measurements by buoys at four latitudes in the western Atlantic provide the strongest evidence yet that the Atlantic ...

A vast ocean current encircling Antarctica—more powerful than all the world’s rivers combined—played a surprisingly complex role in shaping Earth’s climate.

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows ...

Scientists reveal that Antarctica’s ocean current formed slowly and needed winds, ice, and shifting continents to shape Earth’s climate.

The data can then be used with a software to identify and track the shapes of the ice floes, and measure their rotations. As ...
