Scientists found that atmospheric winds can either slow or energize ocean eddies depending on their direction.

In 1905, a Swedish oceanographer named Vagn Walfrid Ekman found evidence showing that ocean currents that flow near the surface, which were known to be impacted by wind, were found to deflect to ...

These weather patterns, known as eddies, are circular currents of ... how those surface and ocean weather patterns interact. Scientists formerly believed atmospheric wind had a damping effect ...

A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation has not weakened since the 1960s — but there's no doubt ...

It’s a jigsaw puzzle of restless floes that are constantly colliding, deforming, and fracturing from the force of wind and ocean currents. Last February I stood shivering on the deck of the ...

Ocean currents are continuous movements of water in the Earth’s oceans. They are driven by both wind and thermohaline circulation interacting with each other. Wind moves the surface waters by ...

Human-induced climate change is causing shifts in the world’s largest ocean current and westerly wind systems also seen during periods of ice age and warmer intervals in Earth’s history ...

Their study highlights the role of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in regulating dynamics in the Southern Ocean and global climate patterns over the past 1.5 million years.

The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown. Ocean temperatures were rising at about 0.06 degrees Celsius per decade in the late 1980s, but are ...

Climate change could further shift wind patterns and ocean currents, expanding cold water further north along the coasts of Isabela and Fernandina and driving fish populations higher, according to ...

The giant floating pipes will be driven by the wind, waves, and currents. His system is projected to clean 50% of the garbage patch in five years. The Ocean Cleanup has started the assembly ...
