Melting polar ice is unleashing stronger, faster currents, reshaping heat flow, nutrient pathways, and microplastic movement ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

An international team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

The Sargasso Sea is a patch of unusually calm water 590 miles east of Florida. Strong currents rush around its edges, but inside it's smooth.

Right now, there's something big spinning off the coast from Sydney—a giant rotating vortex of sea water, powerful enough to dominate the ocean currents off south-eastern Australia. The Surface Water ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Scientists have used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean circulations, making them become faster and thinner. An international team led by ...

The currents that we are most often concerned with are called “surface currents.” The “surface” can be thought of as the top 30 feet of water. At these depths, the wind is the primary driver of the ...

Special Issue No. 91: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3rd INTERNATIONAL WATER SAFETY SYMPOSIUM IWSS 2018 (SUMMER 2019), pp. 46-50 (5 pages) Published By: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc. To understand ...

Flows of water in Earth's seas have guided navigators for centuries and shaped climates for much longer. But how did ocean currents first emerge? These flows would have appeared with the planet's ...
