If you’ve ever been on an airplane, you know how turbulence feels: shaky and chaotic. Just like there is turbulence in the ...

Understanding the complex interactions between ocean basins is critical for advancing decadal climate forecasting and unraveling the mechanisms driving global climate variability. It is of prime ...

The authors investigated the interbasin interactions between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans depending on the phase relationship of Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO)/Atlantic multidecadal oscillation ...

The upper panel illustrates how ENSO influences the equatorial Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and how these two ocean basins in turn feed back to ENSO. On the right side of the panel, the schematic shows ...

Our galaxy's most abundant type of planet could be rich in liquid water due to formative interactions between magma oceans ...

Across Asia, the Pacific Ocean, and the Americas, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) brings variations in winds, weather, and ocean temperature that can cause droughts, floods, crop failures, and ...

How much carbon can the ocean absorb, and what happens to it as the planet warms? Sonya Dyhrman, a microbial oceanographer and professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is trying to answer these ...

The cloudy, sediment-laden meltwater from glaciers is a key source of nutrients for ocean life, but a new study suggests that ...

When you think about climate change in our oceans, you may picture coral bleaching, melting sea ice, or extreme weather events. But beneath the ocean's surface, another quiet shift is underway.

Sawfish — with their long, toothed snouts that resemble saw blades — are being caught as bycatch in Australia’s largest tropical prawn fishery. In the warm, shallow azure waters off northern Australia ...

As more attention is drawn to possible severe weather around the world scientists are looking to improve planning for possible droughts, floods and other scenarios. A team of researchers created a new ...
