1 day ago · The Southern Ocean, also known as the Antarctic Ocean, [1] [note 4] comprises the southernmost waters of the world ocean, generally taken to be south of 60° S latitude and encircling Antarctica. [5]
2 days ago · The oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and are teaming with life; from the surface down to the depths, and from microscopic plankton to 200-ton blue whales. Oceans are also deeply connected to life across the planet through the carbon and water cycles. Scientists studying the ocean measure and observe marine life, ocean currents and ...

2 days ago · Atlantic Ocean - Climate, Currents, Winds: Weather over the North Atlantic is largely determined by large-scale wind currents and air masses emanating from North America. Near Iceland, atmospheric pressure tends to be low, and air flows in a counterclockwise direction.
2 days ago · A watershed expedition made by HMS Challenger in 1872–76 generated thousands of observations in the Atlantic and other ocean basins, culminating in the publication of 50 volumes of data on currents, water depth, temperature, ocean sediments, and animal and plant species.

5 days ago · The Atlantic hurricane season is the period in a year, from June 1 through November 30, when tropical or subtropical cyclones are most likely to form in the North Atlantic Ocean. These dates, adopted by convention, encompass the period in each year when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the basin.
