Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.

The climate forecasts about the region surrounding the Pacific Ocean point to an emergence of change in the global climate.

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

A warm wind shift is unfolding in a remote part of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. And despite its geographical isolation, it could signal the start of a planetary change in ocean temperatures and ...

Super El Niños happen when water in the tropical Pacific heats up, changing weather patterns all around the world. The hotter ...

Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come. Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a ...

Researchers show that the all-time record low in winter sea ice extent in 2023 can be explained by warm Southern Ocean conditions and patterns in the winds that circled Antarctica months earlier, ...

A super El Niño may develop in 2026 and impact U.S. weather.

The maximum Antarctic sea ice extent in 2023, shown here, was the lowest on record. The yellow line shows the average winter maximum of satellite observations from 1981 to 2010. New research shows ...
