As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar ...

During a voyage off the east coast of Africa, researchers collected detailed measurements of massive swirling currents that ...

Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under strain. Oceans, which cover more than 70% of Earth's ...

Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic ...

After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have ...

The Agulhas Current flows south along the western side of the Indian Ocean. When it reaches the southern tip of Africa, it sheds swirling vortices of water called Agulhas Rings. Sometimes ...

Similarly, highest power densities in South Africa occurs during their warmer months (December to February). These seasonal patterns indicate that ocean current energy could align well with ...

Unlike better known ocean currents – such as the Gulf Stream along the United States' east coast, the Kuroshio Current near Japan, and the Agulhas Current off the coast of South Africa – the ...
