As the oceans heat up, heatwaves linked to eddy currents are getting more intense – and so are cold snaps. These pose potential threats to the vast amount of life in the twilight zone ...

In research published today in Nature, we show almost half of the heat waves and cold snaps reaching the ocean's twilight zone—between 200 and 1,000 meters—are driven by large eddy currents ...

The FAU’s Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center (SNMREC) is embarking on a groundbreaking feasibility study to set up an ocean current test facility offshore Palm Beach County.

with ocean currents influencing their frequency. While marine heatwaves (MHWs) have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, new research published today in Nature has found 80 per ...

These vast, swirling conveyor belts are key to many of our planet’s processes – take a look at how vital ocean currents are Covering 71 per cent of the planet – and holding 97 per cent of its water – ...

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 ...

PC: University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Circular ocean currents, called “eddies,” play an important role in supplying nutrients for marine life and can stimulate blooms of phytoplankton ...

Meteorologists in California, North Carolina and Florida issued advisories early Thursday morning warning beachgoers that entering the ocean could pose risks because of longshore currents and rip ...

Forty-four of the world's leading climate scientists have called on Nordic policymakers to address the potentially imminent and "devastating" collapse of key Atlantic Ocean currents. The currents ...

Complementary studies by separate teams have explored the interactions between melting ice in the North Atlantic and the flow of a crucial ocean current. One intensifies the alarm many ...
