  2. Atlantic meridional overturning circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_meridional...

    The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is the main current system in the Atlantic Ocean [1]: 2238 and is also part of the global thermohaline circulation, which connects the world's oceans with a single "conveyor belt" of continuous water exchange. [18]

    They cover the North Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of Europe to the U.S. and Canadian east coasts, and the North Pacific Ocean from the U.S. and Canadian west coast to the east coast of Asia. OPC weather forecasts and warnings for these areas primarily ensure the safety of ocean-crossing commercial ships and other vessels on the high seas.

  4. Ocean observations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_observations

    NOAA NODC WOA05 is the World Ocean Atlas 2005, an atlas of objectively analyzed fields of major ocean parameters at monthly, seasonal, and annual time scales. In situ observations spanning from the early 1700s to present are available from the International Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS).

  5. What happens if climate change causes the Atlantic Ocean ...

    The fact that the study used past ocean surface temperatures as a proxy for AMOC strength — since actual data on the AMOC itself only goes back to 2004 — is a limitation, according to some.

  6. Changes in the Atlantic Ocean Cycle Are Threatening Climate - AOL

    As the water flows across the deep Atlantic heading northward, its temperature drops and the water becomes more dense. The colder, denser water starts to sink towards the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

  7. North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Aerosols...

    The North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES) was a five-year scientific research program that investigated aspects of phytoplankton dynamics in ocean ecosystems, and how such dynamics influence atmospheric aerosols, clouds, and climate. The study focused on the sub-arctic region of the North Atlantic Ocean, which is the site ...

  8. Ocean reanalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_reanalysis

    Ocean reanalysis is a method of combining historical ocean observations with a general ocean model (typically a computational model) driven by historical estimates of surface winds, heat, and freshwater, by way of a data assimilation algorithm to reconstruct historical changes in the state of the ocean.

  9. Marine weather forecasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_weather_forecasting

    The wind is the driving force of weather at sea, as wind generates local wind waves, long ocean swells, and its flow around the subtropical ridge helps maintain warm water currents such as the Gulf Stream. The importance of weather over the ocean during World War II led to delayed or secret weather reports, in order to maintain a competitive ...
