A new satellite has mapped Earth's ocean floors in unprecedented detail, a new study reveals. . The first year of measurements from NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, ...
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sprawling, slow-moving system of ocean currents circulating in the Atlantic that help regulate the earth’s temperature is set to deliver a blob of warmer, ...
Scientists fear warming is driving a collapse in the ocean currents that shape climate far and wide. The ice-choked waters ...
How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...
While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...
A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...
For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...
A newly-deployed satellite has created the most-detailed map yet of the ocean floor, finding hundreds of hills and underwater volcanoes that were previously missed. When you purchase through links on ...
More than 500,000 people were warned of dangerous ocean conditions in Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina on Wednesday as rip currents and longshore currents posed risks to swimmers and ...
