Planktic order Foraminifera, however, area unit carried by ocean currents and, looking on the life traits of the species, doubtless incorporate distant ocean conditions. Here we tend to use high-resolution ocean models to assess the footprint of Planktic order Foraminifera and validate our ...
Ocean currents, and swift boundary currents in particular, have long been of interest to marine biologists seeking to understand the life history, or ontogeny, of marine species that range across wide tracts of open ocean. Of particular interest has been the influence of ocean currents on the li...

It is more surprising to find large gradients with smaller-scale currents. Figure 4b shows that the modeled wave heights have patterns on the same scale as the surface current shown in Figure 4a. This variability in the presence of currents contrasts with the smooth Hs field in the case ...
You've probably seen signs posted at the beach, warning of rip currents. They result from spent waves (or waves that have already crashed) funneling out of a narrow opening, like a break in a sandbar, with great force. Imagine the great volume of water that rushes out of the tub when...
Ocean-bound plastics are any plastic products found within 30 miles (50 kilometers) of a waterway or coastal area that have not been collected and are not likely to be,according to NextWave Plastics, an HP partner. Much of that waste finds its way into the water, putting sea life and ...
- Massive ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream, move heat from one part of the planet to the other. This process, in part, helps to give Western Europe its mild winter climate. But climate change is already having a visible effect on the world's temperatures and scientist...
How do eastern boundary currents influence coastal climate? How does sea level affect climate? How does the thermocline of an ocean affect animals in the ocean? How does ocean warming affect sea life? How does weather affect the water cycle? What effect does precipitation have on the water cyc...

Our finding that equatorial submesoscale eddies inhibit ENSO growth by inducing an anomalous heat exchange between the subsurface and surface ocean injects a new element of consideration that classical ENSO theories have missed. Our result sheds light on the long-standing issue of an overly large ENS...
