The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown. Ocean temperatures were rising at about 0.06 degrees Celsius per decade in the late 1980s, but are ...

Research Reveals ‘Warm Water’ Flowing Toward One of Antarctica’s Biggest Ice Shelves Could Dramatically Raise Sea Levels ...

These exceptionally strong winds were fueled by the collision of cold air and unusually warm ocean temperatures, which enabled the storm to intensify significantly as it developed. According to ...

Unlike some other Antarctic ice shelves, FRIS currently appears stable in our warming world. However, previous ocean modeling has shown that relatively warm water from the deep sea could threaten the ...

Sometimes, thunderstorms follow. The next ingredient is warm ocean water. As the tropical wave travels over waters above 26.5°C (about 80°F), warm, moist air starts rising upwards. This movement ...

An unusually powerful and resilient marine heat wave contributed to keeping the region toasty. But it wasn’t the only factor.

Depending on where they form, tropical storms are also known as hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons. Tropical storms form over warm oceans and travel from east to west. Tropical storms bring with ...
