As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

GOES-East satellite observations and machine learning have, for the first time, connected this observed structure to the much more difficult problem of observing ocean currents. Credit: Luc ...

Something strange is happening beneath the surface of the world's oceans, and scientists are paying close attention. Currents that have kept global temperatures relatively stable for thousands of ...

A subpolar gyre is a large-scale ocean current system located at high latitudes created by a persistent region of low atmospheric pressure. These gyres circulate water in a cyclonic direction – ...

The world’s oceans cover more than 70% of Earth’s surface. They’re filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine ...

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

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.

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

On the Thursday, April 23, 2026, episode of The Excerpt podcast: A large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents that has been active for millions of years and that’s responsible for our warm ...
