As sea ice vanishes, polar ocean currents are stirring faster - reshaping heat, carbon, and nutrient flow across the Arctic and Antarctic.

Without warm currents from the South Atlantic, Iceland would be much icier and stormier. Now, those currents are at risk of collapse and the country is preparing for this “existential threat.” ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...
