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 ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time, connected this observed structure to the much more difficult problem of observing ocean currents. Credit: Luc ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current plays an important part in global overturning circulation, the exchange of heat and CO2 between the ocean and atmosphere, and the stability of Antarctica’s ice sheets ...

Scientists have developed a new way to track ocean currents using artificial intelligence, revealing movements in the ocean ...

There's an underwater conveyor belt flowing through the Atlantic that keeps Europe warm and regulates climate across the globe. Yet this enormous system might be heading toward a breaking point. The ...

In a desperate effort to save an ocean current essential for hundreds of millions of people’s quality of life, a radical proposal to dam the Bering Strait has been floated. Before considering the ...
