An international team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean ...

Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...

Scientists have used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean circulations, making them become faster and thinner. An international team led by ...

There’s a new eye in the sky above the Great Lakes. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite which launched on Friday, Dec. 16 is dedicated to observing surface water across the Earth.

Flows of water in Earth's seas have guided navigators for centuries and shaped climates for much longer. But how did ocean currents first emerge? These flows would have appeared with the planet's ...

The currents that we are most often concerned with are called “surface currents.” The “surface” can be thought of as the top 30 feet of water. At these depths, the wind is the primary driver of the ...

Blue Origin is committed to making a permanent human presence in space a reality. To this end, they have developed the New Shepard and New Glenn rockets to send payloads to orbit, and aim to create ...

Ocean currents move in response to global wind patterns and Earth's rotation. Uneven heating of Earth creates global winds that form three separate bands in each of the northern and southern ...
