The Indonesian Throughflow carries both warm water and fresh water from the Pacific into the Indian Ocean. As the only ...

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 ...

Shutterstock The ocean is filled with different currents, which keep the water cycling around the world. These currents don’t ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Converting the vibrations generated by water currents in contact with an object into energy. This is the basis of the new ...

(CNN) — Flooding on the US Northeast coast has risen significantly as a critical network of Atlantic Ocean currents weakens, according to a new study — an alarming glimpse into the future as some ...

(CNN) — Iceland’s relatively mild climate is shaped by a crucial network of currents that winds its away around the Atlantic Ocean transporting heat northward — without it, the island would be much ...

Global warming caused vital Atlantic Ocean currents to collapse just before the last ice age, a new study suggests. The weakening currents triggered a cascade of effects, resulting in a dramatic ...

In order to understand currents, tides and other ocean dynamics, scientists need to accurately capture sea surface height, or ...

The oceans play an important role in the earth’s climate; they transport heat from equator to pole, provide moisture for rain, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Ocean models, such as this ...

A NASA animation shows how ocean currents silently snake and swirl around the planet over the course of two and a half years, and in doing so reveals how science makes art and vice versa. Fluid white ...
