The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of renewable energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has invested $112.5 million ...

SEATTLE – A new study has revealed that an extensive marine heat wave killed nearly half of a ... warm conditions in the northeastern Pacific Ocean between 2014 and 2016. Researchers said ...

The primary area of research is air-sea interaction, including the topics of surface wave dynamics, air-sea fluxes, upper ocean turbulence, including Langmuir circulations, and the remote sensing of ...

it is plausible that the ocean temperature increase seen over the past 40 years will be exceeded in just the next 20 years. Because the surface oceans set the pace for global warming, this matters ...

Meet the MASK, otherwise known as the maneuvering and seakeeping basin located at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Carderock, Maryland. The 12-million-gallon basin can replicate any ocean wave ...

Helm and her colleagues recently linked neuston to 28 ecosystem services, including their potential for mediating surface chemistry between the ocean and the atmosphere ... while others move at the ...

A marine heat wave is a period of unusually high ocean temperatures and is defined by its duration and intensity. One of the most common ways that scientists measure the ocean’s temperature is through ...

The ocean surface temperature is also setting records ... have recorded their hottest temperatures ever. Droughts, heat waves, floods, and wildfires have impacted Africa, Southern Asia, the ...

Turbulence is the complex chaotic behavior of fluids, gases or nonlinear waves in various physical systems. For example, turbulence at the ocean surface can be caused by wind or wind-drift ...

The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown. Ocean temperatures were rising at about 0.06 degrees Celsius per decade in the late 1980s, but are ...
