Few bodies of water have the intricate system of currents that oceans do, though. Ranging from predictable tidal currents to fickle rip currents, ocean currents may be driven by tides, winds or differences in density. They profoundly affect the weather, marine transportation and the cycling of ...
How do breakwaters affect coastal erosion? What characteristics of water waves make them transverse waves? How does salinity affect phytoplankton? How do waves cause erosion? How do ocean currents impact local weather? How does the ocean affect the geosphere?
How do ocean currents impact local weather? Why is the Gulf Stream slowing down? How does El Nino affect the thermocline in a body of water? How has climate change already affected the Earth? How did Hurricane Sandy affect the biosphere?

, surface air and ocean temperatures have warmed by about 1°C since 1900. More than 90% of the additional heat contained in the climate system (atmosphere, ocean, land) due to global warming is stored in the ocean, so what do these increased ocean temperatures mean for our weather?
To understand these changes, researchers — including Associate Professor Bishakhdatta Gayen, Dr. Taimoor Sohail, and Dr. Andreas Klocker — used high-resolution ocean and sea ice simulations. Their analysis examined how shifts in temperature, salinity, and wind conditions impact ocean currents and ...
As a very basic generalization, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, during mid to late summer and early fall the ocean is typically at its warmest. You’ll see plenty of “fair-weather surfers” (a playfully unaffectionate name for people who only surf in the summer) and ocean ...
For pretty much every restaurant along the zigzag alleyway that runs parallel to the shore, there’s a fishmonger’s stall, with an array of tanks filled with veritable academies representing all the bounty of the ocean: yellow tail, prawns, crab, lobster, sea cucumber, eel and even...
