A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that's crucial for regulating the world's weather and ecosystems might be more stable ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT ... A study published in Science Advances has discovered that ocean currents in the Bay of Bengal deviate leftward, contrary to Ekman’s century ...

Heat at the ocean’s surface eventually gets pushed deeper into the water column and spreads across Earth’s surface in currents. The below chart shows how the world’s oceans have heated over ...

A warmer, less dense water column has a larger specific volume leading to an increase in surface height and pressure compared to the surrounding ocean. In the presence of the earth's rotation, this ...

According to the January 2025 sargassum update, residents and visitors across the Virgin Islands may soon begin to notice an ...

Australia's sea surface temperatures were the warmest on record last year, according to a snapshot of the nation's climate which underscores the ...

A recent study reveals our warming world is triggering shifts in winds and ocean currents, which is likely contributing to an increase in harmful carbon pollution. An international team of scientists, ...

A dramatic reduction in sulfur pollution from shipping has unintentionally contributed to recent global warming, offering a ...

The ENSO cycle loosely operates over timescales from one to eight years. La Niña occurs when equatorial trade winds become stronger, changing ocean surface currents and drawing cooler deep water up ...

The primary area of research is air-sea interaction, including the topics of surface wave dynamics, air-sea fluxes, upper ocean turbulence, including Langmuir circulations, and the remote sensing of ...

“Model studies have suggested that when the ocean warms it gets more stratified, which can drain certain parts of the surface ocean of nutrients,” said Adam Martiny, a professor of Earth system ...
