Physical Geography, in its Relation to the Prevailing Winds and Currents The Ocean: its Tides and Currents, and their CausesTHE first part of Mr. Laughton's work consists of a comprehensive and valuable summary of the present state of our knowledge of the prevailing Winds in different parts ...
Ocean currents refer to the mass flow of water driven by winds, transferring heat, influencing weather and climate, distributing nutrients, and dispersing marine organisms in the oceans. They are a form of kinetic energy that plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and have the pote...
Over 70% of the Earth is covered by oceans in the world. These oceans are a vast renewable energy source. Energy stored in oceans can be mainly categorized as thermal energy; kinetic energy due to tides, waves and currents; and chemical and biological energies. Tides are caused by planetary...

and tides, and currents. You know, when I tell people I'm an oceanographer, I think a lot of people assume oceanographers study the critters: the whales and the dolphins and things that live in the ocean. And I have to always explain, "No, no, I'm a physical oceanographer. I study...
Currents are found in rivers, ponds, marshes and even swimming pools. 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 ...
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of ocean water generated by the forces acting upon the water, such as the wind, Coriolis force, temperature and salinity differences and tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. Depth contours, shoreline configurations ...
Oceanic tides lead to some of the largest currents of the world ocean and have important implications for oceanic circulation. In the last decade, the feedback effect of surface currents on the overlying winds has been shown to strongly regulate the ocean circulation. Here we present evidence, ...
For locations where the geometry is adequately represented and the observations are of high quality, sea level errors are within 0.02 m in amplitude and 7° in phase. These results represent the most accurate and highest resolution calculations of tides and currents yet attained for this area.Roy...
