IN A NUTSHELL 🛰️ NASA monitors the South Atlantic Anomaly, a region impacting satellite operations due to weakened magnetic intensity. 🌌 The anomaly poses risks to spacecraft systems by exposing them to charged solar particles. 🔍 Research reveals the SAA’s dynamic evolution, including a potential split into two distinct cells. 🧭 The anomaly’s broader implications affect Earth’s magnetic field and …

Scientists studying clam and cockle shells have found signs that the currents in the Atlantic Ocean may be approaching a “tipping point”, which could have significant consequences for climate patterns. The researchers studied the layers of quahog clam and dog cockle shells to find out about past oceanic conditions and understand how patterns in two ocean current systems – the Atlantic …

Subtropical Storm Karen has formed, becoming the 11th named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season and raising concerns along the US East Coast.  Subtropical storms are hybrid systems, with characteristics of both tropical storms, which get energy from warm ocean waters, and extratropical storms, which draw power from temperature differences in the atmosphere. As of Friday morning, Karen remained …

How can we predict the future? A good way is to look into the past, and who better to ask than one of Earth’s longest-living animals: the quahog clam. These modest mollusks don’t look like much, but their shells tell a staggering story as they store a record of the environmental conditions across their lifespan. For quahog clams, that can …

Recent research, including studies published by Heriot-Watt University and a ScienceDirect report, has uncovered colossal structures buried deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean, shedding new light on the birth of this massive water body. This discovery not only confirms earlier theories about the separation of South America and Africa but also suggests the Atlantic may have begun forming earlier than previously …

Tropical Storm Jerry formed Tuesday over tropical waters in the central Atlantic Ocean, the National Hurricane Center said. It is the 10th named storm of the 2025 hurricane season. The newly developed system was far from land when the hurricane center issued its first advisory for Jerry at 11 a.m. ET. Forecasters said the storm was more than 1,300 miles …

Tropical Storm Jerry formed over the central Atlantic Ocean Tuesday and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane by Wednesday. Jerry is the 10th named storm of a late-blooming season that has produced three hurricanes in just over two weeks. Tropical Storm Jerry has sustained winds of 45 mph as of 11 a.m ET Tuesday. The storm was about 1,300 …

A tropical wave designated Invest 95L by the National Hurricane Center, or NHC, is speeding west-northwest at about 15-20 mph across the central Atlantic. The wave is expected to steadily develop this week, becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm by Thursday, when it will be nearing the northeastern Leeward Islands. Satellite images on Monday showed 95L was well-organized, with …

The North Atlantic subpolar gyre, a system of ocean currents pivotal to global climate regulation, is showing signs of instability that could lead to significant environmental shifts. Recent research published in Science Advances has raised alarms about its weakening, suggesting that the gyre may be nearing a tipping point. This development could spell profound consequences for climate patterns, especially in …
