SST Anomalies in the Tropical Eastern Pacific can dictate the climate of the North Atlantic a decade later

Figure 1 from Yang et al. (2026): The two leading joint EOF modes and their PCs of North Atlantic SST and AMOC decadal variability. (a) Decadal SST anomalies regressed onto the AMVTEP. Decadal SST (b) and AMOC (d) anomalies regressed onto the PC1. In panels (c, e) Same as (b, d) but for the PC2. Stipplings in (a–e) denote... Continue Reading →

New Study Reveals Key Local Blind Spots in Climate Model Projections

Fig. 2 from Aru et al. (2026): Partitioning of observed SAT trend patterns into external forcing and internal variability. (A) Total, (B) external forcing, and (C) internal variability observed SAT trend patterns for the most recent (D to F) 30-year (1993–2022) periods, respectively, by regressing observed local anomalies against the 1850–2022 MMLE GSAT time series. Hatched regions... Continue Reading →

How Super El Niño Could Shift the Planet into a New Climate Reality

Fig. 3 from Xue et al. (2025): Evidence of super El Niño-induced climate regime shifts (CRSs) across various regions and climatic variables. Time series of standardized anomalies for sea surface temperature (SST), surface air temperature (SAT), and surface soil moisture (Soil) across selected regions with respect to 1948–2022 climatology. The vertical black lines and blue... Continue Reading →

What Happens to the Planet if the Indonesian Throughflow Stops?

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on several studies, including "The Role of Indonesian Throughflow in a Global Ocean GCM." by Hirst and Godfrey (1993), "The Indonesian Throughflow’s Effect on Global Climate Determined from the COLA Coupled Climate System" by Wajsowicz and Schneider (2001), "Effects of the Indonesian...

Strengthening of the Indonesian Throughflow Accelerated Indian Ocean Warming Contrary to Climate Model Projections

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Increased heat transport of the Indonesian Throughflow linked to the spin-up of Southern-Hemisphere circulation gyres” by Guo et al. (2026) Guo et al. (2026) examines the recent intensification of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), a critical ocean current that transports warm water from... Continue Reading →

The warming hole has pushed the Atlantic summer jet stream southward

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Recent equatorward shift of the summer North Atlantic jet dominated by internal climate variability” by Sheng et al. (2026). Sheng et al. (2026) explores why the summer North Atlantic jet has recently migrated toward the equator, a movement that contradicts the general poleward trend... Continue Reading →

The Rise and Fall of the Arctic Meridional Overturning Circulation (ArcMOC)

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Transient Increase in Arctic Deep-Water Formation and Ocean Circulation under Sea Ice Retreat" by Bretones et al. (2022). Using a long-term climate simulation, this research explores how Arctic sea ice loss influences ocean circulation and deep-water formation between the years 1850... Continue Reading →

The East Coast’s Double Threat: Why Slower Atlantic Currents Mean Rising Seas and Less Marine Life

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Dynamically downscaled future projections of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean across low to high emissions scenarios” by Kim et al. (2026). This paper evaluates future changes in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean by using a high-resolution regional model to refine global Earth system... Continue Reading →

Smart-Tech Race to Measure the AMOC with Microscopic Precision

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Strengthening connections in observing the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Outcomes from a joint RAPID-OSNAP workshop" by Foukal et al. (2025). This article summarizes the findings of a collaborative workshop held in 2025 to harmonize the efforts of the RAPID and... Continue Reading →

The Atlantic’s Deep-Sea Time Capsule: Why the Depths are Cooling in a Warming World

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Deep ocean cooling and freshening from Subpolar North Atlantic reaches Subtropics at 26.5°N” by Chomiak et al. (2025). Chomiak et al. (2025) identifies a surprising cooling and freshening trend in the deep waters of the Subtropical North Atlantic, specifically at the... Continue Reading →
