An artistic visualization of ocean currents from NASA has people mesmerized learning about our planet's underwater highways.
Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...
Weather satellites are not only used to forecast the weather: they also provide valuable information about ocean currents. By observing their thermal images, scientists have identified the ...
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 ...

A warming climate doesn't just affect dry land — it affects the ocean, too. For many years, Earth's ocean has acted as a heat sink for climate change: A large part of the heat generated by human use ...
