A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents. By ...

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows ...

The ocean is essentially our planet's climate control system, a massive engine that never stops working. For thousands of years, this intricate network of currents has maintained Earth's weather ...

RASCOE: And while most of us like to sit by the ocean, NPR's Short Wave podcast is diving in, with this story from producer Hannah Chinn on how the ocean and the atmosphere affect each other.

A vast ocean current encircling Antarctica—more powerful than all the world’s rivers combined—played a surprisingly complex role in shaping Earth’s climate.

It transports far more than 100 times as much water as all of the Earth's rivers combined: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current rushes around the southern continent unhindered by land masses and is ...

(Alfred Wegener Institute/Hanna Knahl, Patrick Scholz) New simulations show that the world's strongest ocean current didn't start flowing overnight – several major factors needed to align before it ...

A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning circulation—play a pivotal role in shaping the diversity and function of microbial life ...

New research reveals how the speed of ocean currents and the shape of the seabed influence the amount of heat flowing underneath Antarctic ice shelves, contributing to melting.

In this first glimpse of the "Sea Camp" series from NPR's Short Wave podcast, hear how climate change will significantly shift three-quarters of the ocean's surface currents by the end of the century.

Scientists have uncovered how changing ocean currents in South Georgia's fjords could affect the survival of young mackerel icefish. The species is a key component of the island's rich marine ...
