Discover what causes ocean currents, the types of ocean currents, and their differences. Learn what are the primary driving forces behind both...
Although the current feedback effect must vary to some extent in space and time, a simple estimate of the global friction-induced tidal winds can be derived by factoring the M2 tidal currents from TPXO9-v527 by the coupling coefficient sw. Figure 4b presents a global map of the estimated ...

If you want to see more of our hands-on ocean activities, such as coastal erosion, ocean currents, squid movement, fish breathing, etc., you’ll want to look through our Ocean Activities for Kids Guide. Whether you visit the ocean often, live by one, or have never been…kids love to...
Learn about ocean currents with a few simple ingredients you can grab from the kitchen. Make this simple ocean currents model and discover what things cause the movement of water in the ocean. Can You Map the Ocean Floor? What does the ocean floor look like? Be inspired by scientist and ...
Instead of using airguns to map the seafloors, some scientists recommend the use of a new technology that is already used on land. This emits a small amount of sound energy over a long period of time rather than a large amount of sound energy over a short period of time. Studies show ...
The circulation of deep currents is widely described due to the Davie Ridge (Coffin and Rabinowitz, 1987) that separates the channel into two distinct basins (i.e. the Comoros Basin in the north and the Mozambique Basin in the south; Fig. 1). According to some authors, the Davie Ridge ...
Swept away: ocean currents and seascape features influence genetic structure across the 18,000 Km Indo-Pacific distribution of a marine invertebrate, the black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera Monal M. Lal, Paul C. Southgate, Dean R. Jerry, Cyprien Bosserelle & Kyall R. Zenger BMC ...

Although the largest currents are in the western boundary currents, equatorial waves, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the ocean is full of eddies and wind motions. (b) Vector plot of some of the details in the map, highlighting the Gulf of Mexico. The Loop Current enters from the ...
