The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a ...

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze. Northwestern ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world’s strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, ...

This map of kinetic energy flux shows the global average power density calculated using drifter data in watts per square meter. As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under ...
