As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar ...

Large-scale wind patterns around the globe drag ocean surface waters with them, creating complex currents, including some that flow toward the western sides of the ocean basins. The currents hug ...

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 ...

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep ...

Scientists have issued a warning that the world's strongest ocean current is slowing down due ... and it is likely to get hotter, with flow-on impacts on Antarctic ice melting," climate scientist ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

Scientists are increasingly worried about a potential slowdown of the major Atlantic ocean current. Now we know it would ...

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 Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

The ACC is the only ocean current to flow around the entire planet unimpeded, carrying more than 100 times more water than all the world’s rivers combined. It reaches 100 to 200 miles wide and ...
