Ocean eddies are churning harder, driving coastal currents and temperature extremes by warming surface waters while cooling ...

For centuries, scientists have known that oceans move and swirl, shifting water across the planet. But recent breakthroughs are revealing that some of the smallest currents are surprisingly powerful ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before.

New research reveals a powerful yet overlooked driver of climate change: intensifying ocean eddies. These swirling ...

While scientists have long studied currents of large eddies, the smaller ones -- called submesoscale eddies -- are notoriously difficult to detect. These currents, which range from several kilometers ...

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 ...
