The Ocean's Global Heat Distribution System One of the most important functions of the ocean is to move heat around the ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

As sea ice vanishes, polar ocean currents are stirring faster - reshaping heat, carbon, and nutrient flow across the Arctic and Antarctic.

An international team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

Scientists have used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean circulations, making them become faster and thinner. An international team led by ...

Satellites offer a frequent overview of our entire planet – covered mostly by water – and provide valuable data to monitor and understand global ocean circulation. Understanding water currents at the ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Special Issue No. 91: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 3rd INTERNATIONAL WATER SAFETY SYMPOSIUM IWSS 2018 (SUMMER 2019), pp. 46-50 (5 pages) Published By: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc. To understand ...

The currents that we are most often concerned with are called “surface currents.” The “surface” can be thought of as the top 30 feet of water. At these depths, the wind is the primary driver of the ...
