A research team at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has built a stripped-down, ocean-only forecast model that, in hindsight ...

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

A major Atlantic Ocean current that helps regulate the climate across large parts of the Northern Hemisphere may be weakening ...

Melting ice in the Arctic is causing an increasing amount of freshwater to enter the North Atlantic, which is expected to result in a weakening of the Atlantic overturning circulation. However, many ...

In the field of oceanography, researchers have been successful at simulating the ocean’s large-scale behavior but have struggled to capture smaller turbulent motions that play a key role in moving ...

For decades, scientists have worked to improve predictions of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a climate powerhouse that ...

Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...
