We used this rich data to uncover the role of eddy currents. Ocean eddies are huge loops of swirling current, sometimes hundreds of kilometres across and reaching down over 1,000 metres.

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 study will attempt to harness the power of ocean currents to generate clean, renewable energy right off the coast of Southeast Florida and explore its commercial readiness. The vision for a ...

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 – ...

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 ...

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 ...

7-day sea surface temperatures forecasts are available in the Ocean Forecast Map Viewer. These forecasts are calculated using a full 3D ocean model. Ocean currents describe the movement of water from ...

Dangerous currents are posing beach hazards in three states on Thursday, according to National Weather Service (NWS) ...

In short, it’s the system of ocean currents that circulates cool subsurface water and warmer surface water. For us here in the U.K. and Ireland read it as The Gulf Stream, which essentially ...
