Researchers have for the first time reconstructed the three-dimensional structure of powerful vertical ocean currents off ...

Large-scale currents are the conveyor belts of the ocean, transporting water and nutrients and controlling Earth's climate. Surface currents are relatively easy to measure and track. But those in the ...

Bottom a) temperature (°C) and c) salinity (psu) from the observational climatological mean on the continental shelf over 1975–2012 based on ref. 72 and in the abyss over 1955–2017 based on the World ...

Scientists have discovered a fast-moving deep ocean current with the volume of 40 Amazon Rivers near Antarctica that will help researchers monitor the impacts of climate change on the world's oceans.

Japan is turning to the ocean in a bid to augment its renewable energy production using a 330-ton turbine that harnesses the power of deep-sea currents. Called “Kairyu,” the plan is to build a ...

Invertebrate larvae at hot, biologically active deep sea vents can be swept up and transported hundreds of kilometers by surface-generated currents caused by the ...
