Ocean surface currents are a fundamental component of the global climate system, governing the transport of heat, nutrients and pollutants, as well as influencing marine ecosystems and weather ...

In order to understand currents, tides and other ocean dynamics, scientists need to accurately capture sea surface height, or ...

Scientists have used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean circulations, making them become faster and thinner. An international team led by ...

An international team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego used computer model simulations to find that climate change is altering the mechanics of surface ocean ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission will explore how the ocean absorbs atmospheric heat and carbon, moderating global temperatures and climate change. Though climate change is driving sea ...

Blue Origin is committed to making a permanent human presence in space a reality. To this end, they have developed the New Shepard and New Glenn rockets to send payloads to orbit, and aim to create ...

What seems to be debris from the Malaysian Air flight MH370 that mysteriously vanished in March 2014 has washed up on on the island of Réunion in the western Indian Ocean. Investigators from Boeing ...

NASA SWOT’s solar panels unfold as part of a test in January at a Thales Alenia Space facility in Cannes, France, where the satellite is being assembled. SWOT will measure elevations of Earth’s ocean ...

The currents that we are most often concerned with are called “surface currents.” The “surface” can be thought of as the top 30 feet of water. At these depths, the wind is the primary driver of the ...
