Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation were to collapse, it would have profound implications for global climate ...

Can we stop it weakening by 2050? Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream ...

As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth's ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter ...

The slowdown of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current could have 'dire' consequences, including greater climate variability and ...

more dominant ocean currents, or mean flow. When eddies and large ocean currents interact with one another, they exchange energy, momentum and enstrophy, a measure of the strength of the swirling ...

Global warming is having an impact on Atlantic Ocean currents that could lead to significant shifts in weather patterns in ...

Also driven by temperature and wind, ocean currents help to regulate the planet’s climate ... and it is likely to get hotter, ...
