- New research confirms the likelihood of a Gulf Stream slowdown in the North Atlantic. Scientists suggest the phenomenon will spare Europe from the worst of global warming. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressrelease/id/36137 6 comments science
- Hurricanes in the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans will grow more than twice as powerful and damaging as ocean temperatures rise from global warming, a new study says. http://reuters.com/article/iduskcn0uy2pa 5 comments science
- Global warming is accelerating toxic algae growth, new research shows. Researchers analyzed the effects of rising ocean temperatures on two of the most toxic types of algae and found growths are becoming more widespread and profiling through the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. http://www.stonybrook.edu/happenings/research/global-warming-making-oceans-more-toxic-research-shows/ 7 comments science
- New studies deepen concerns about the possibility that global warming could slow or shut down the Atlantic’s great ocean circulation systems http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/09/07/new-studies-deepen-concerns-about-a-climate-change-wild-card/ 17 comments science
- New research shows that aviation turbulence has increased in various regions around the world due to the effects of climate change: warmer air from CO2 emissions is increasing windshear in the jet streams, strengthening clear-air turbulence in the North Atlantic and globally https://www.reading.ac.uk/news/2023/Research-News/Aviation-turbulence-strengthened-as-the-world-warmed 13 comments science
- A team of NASA and university scientists has developed a new way to use satellite measurements to track changes in Atlantic Ocean currents, which are a driving force in global climate. The finding opens a path to better monitoring and understanding of how ocean circulation is changing. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/nasa-finds-new-way-to-track-ocean-currents-from-space 3 comments science
- Pharmaceutical contaminants are an emerging global concern, with over 900 substances now detected in waterways worldwide. A new study shows that environmental levels of clobazam — a drug for anxiety and sleep disorders — influences river-to-sea migration success in wild juvenile Atlantic salmon. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp7174 32 comments science
- New study on Gulf Stream System finds a slowdown in the North Atlantic Ocean circulation over the last century. This change appears to be unique over the last 1,500 years and could be related to global warming and freshwater input from ice sheet melt. https://www.hku.hk/press/news_detail_18715.html 7 comments science
- Scientists studying a remote and icy stretch of the North Atlantic have found new evidence that fresh water, likely melted from Greenland or Arctic sea ice, may already be altering a key process that helps drives the global circulation of the oceans. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2018/03/14/the-melting-arctic-is-already-messing-with-a-crucial-part-of-the-oceans-circulation-scientists-say/?utm_term=.3eb053994b9a 7 comments worldnews
