Understanding Atlantic Ocean circulation is key for assessing the global ocean interconnections, in what is known as the 'global conveyor belt'. This is because the latitudinal ends of the Atlantic, ...

A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents. By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Comparison of Arctic Ocean FSLE snapshots from the two simulations during March. Brighter regions (high FSLE) indicate more vigorous horizontal stirring. Left panel: present-day conditions; right ...

The paper found that the water in the Southern Ocean has unexpectedly been getting saltier over the last 10 years, a reversal of a trend measured since roughly the 1970s. Its main author told Snopes ...

STRAITS OF FLORIDA — At 2 a.m., oceanographer Ryan Smith was headed into his 12th hour of work with little sleep when trouble started. From the rear deck of the University of Miami’s research boat, he ...

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 ...
