A new study has revealed significant acceleration in the upper-ocean circulation of the equatorial Pacific over the past 30 years. This acceleration is primarily driven by intensified atmospheric ...

Researchers have identified the key factors that influence a vital pattern of ocean currents. Researchers have identified the key factors that influence a vital pattern of ocean currents. The Atlantic ...

The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern ...

The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has puzzled researchers since 2011. A recent study published in Nature Communications may ...

Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...

West-east near-surface current trend between 1993-2022. Blue colors show increased westward currents; red colors show increased eastward currents. The largest trends are observed in the central ...

Hereon researchers simulate long-term effects of wind and tidal wakes caused by wind turbines in the North Sea for the first time By 2050, offshore wind power capacity in the North Sea is set to ...
