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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The combination of wind and ocean currents redistributes heat and moisture across Earth’s surface. Around 60% of the solar energy that reaches the earth is redistributed around the planet by ...

In a sweeping order, President Trump halted federal approvals for new wind farms, in a move that could affect projects on ...

These developments closed off the Atlantic Ocean, closing off an ... The Benguela Current's effect is enhanced by a southwesterly wind, which increases in September and October (early in the ...

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 ...

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 findings could provide new information about ocean currents, nutrient transport in seawater and the geologic history of Earth's oceans. With a 5-mile (8 kilometers) resolution and 21-day path ...

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 ...
