Between Hawaii and California, trash swirls in giant ocean currents, caught up in the infamous, Texas-sized Great Pacific ...

A sequel to the popular first version from 2011, the new visualization now shows currents not just at the water's surface.

Large-scale wind patterns around the globe drag ocean surface waters with them, creating complex currents, including some that flow toward the western sides of the ocean basins. The currents hug ...

Sea surface temperatures are vital measurements that indicate the warmth of the ocean's top layer, influencing weather ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

Discover NASA’s groundbreaking 3D ocean currents visualisation, where Van Gogh-inspired art meets modern ocean science ...

A crucial ocean-current system seems unlikely to collapse ... where it rises back up to the surface. The AMOC therefore has a crucial role in the global distribution of heat, salt and other ...

Explore the impact of Antarctic ice melt on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and global climate change predictions.

Scientists registered each found toy into the Ocean Surface Currents Simulation (OSCAR), a computer model that combines data ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

This can change the natural currents in the lake, and can harm the animals that live in and around it. Salt water is more dense than fresh water. As glaciers melt, the released freshwater mixes with ...

Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion ...
