The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

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 ...

A beach day is a rite of passage during the summer months. While it’s wonderful to lie out in the sun with a cold beverage and a new book, or cool off in the ocean, beaches come with some surprising ...

Sentinel-6B continues three decades of global ocean height measurements, tracking sea level changes, ocean currents, and climate-related trends for scientific research and operational forecasting.

If you haven’t heard of it before, you’re about to become intimately familiar with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. This system of currents—which brings water up the Atlantic from the ...

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze. Northwestern ...

Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our deep oceans by helping drive “giant whirlpools,” according to new research. Scientists analyzed sediments, ...

However, in the mid-90s, the AMOC strength started to decline and the current began to move slower. Scientists attribute the change to the continued warming of the ocean’s surface and the accompanying ...

An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a ...
