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.

causing knock-on effects such as thermal expansion - which leads to a rise in sea level - and changes in ocean currents. The melting of ice both on land and in the sea also affects the ocean, causing ...

The authors show that the small-scale variability of SST in ocean boundary currents is correlated with small-scale vertical wind anomalies throughout the troposphere. This suggests that mid ...

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 ...

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 ...

SNMREC is initiating a pioneering feasibility study to establish an offshore ocean current test facility in Palm Beach County, marking a first-of-its-kind project that utilizes top marine energy ...

While marine heat waves (MHWs) have been studied at the sea surface for more than a decade, new research published today in Nature has found 80% of MHWs below 100 meters are independent of surface ...

Circular ocean currents, called “eddies,” play an important role in supplying nutrients for marine life and can stimulate ...

November is the worst month for pedestrian collisions. Here's why ...

man, and one injured after being swept into the ocean by strong currents this week at Ke Iki Beach in Pupukea on Oahu’s North Shore following a high wave advisory warning. Bryan Kunic ...

In research published today in Nature, we show almost half of the heat waves and cold snaps reaching the ocean's twilight ...
