Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, and all that water is in constant motion. How Ocean Currents Influence Global Climate And Weather The National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

Sound waves travel through different types of matter, including liquid water. Importantly, the movement of ocean water can greatly affect how sound waves travel from one point to another. Mesoscale ...

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 ...

RASCOE: And while most of us like to sit by the ocean, NPR's Short Wave podcast is diving in, with this story from producer Hannah Chinn on how the ocean and the atmosphere affect each other.

The analysis probes the co-variability of atmospheric vertical motion and precipitation with SSTs over the main western boundary currents of both hemispheres using high-resolution reanalysis, ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.

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 ...

Fresh evidence from sediment cores, satellite records, and deep-ocean sensors is converging on a troubling finding: meltwater ...

Discover how the Coriolis effect shapes weather patterns across the globe, including ocean currents and a hurricane’s spin. The coriolis effect influences everything from trade winds to storms.

How do scientists collect water samples from hundreds or thousands of metres below the surface? How to study the tiny organisms that form the basis of the ocean’s food webs? And how do ocean currents ...
