Unlike better known ocean currents ... and this should be enough to speed up the current. ... Researchers in Australia put cameras on sea lions' backs to help them map the elusive ocean floor.

They are designed to follow the water circulation in the oceans so that they can constantly measure the speed and direction of ocean currents. They aren't blown around by the wind. They transmit ...

Large sea anchors could be used to drag water under a bold plan to keep the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

Some of the fastest ocean currents in the world have been discovered off South Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar. These can be used to generate energy.

Scientists registered each found toy into the Ocean Surface Currents Simulation (OSCAR), a computer model that combines data ...

You can do a very similar thing for the ocean. If a ship wants to get from Newport to Miami, they should know what the currents are going to be and the waves are going to be along the way.

This has the potential to speed up climate change—both on land and in the ocean. So, are we 100% sure these changes to the ACC are going to happen? Not necessarily.

Ocean current expected to warm - and could drive up sea level rise, study finds WLRN Public Media | By Jenny Staletovich Published April 8, 2025 at 8:37 AM EDT ...

We looked at 43 million measurements of ocean current speed and direction at specific locations and times over 30 years. ... On June 15, a French-led team of scientists will set sail from Brittany in ...

Ocean currents respond to changes in temperature, salt levels, wind patterns and sea ice extent. ... Warm water is less dense (or heavy) and this should be enough to speed up the current.
