Accurate measurements of surface currents are crucial for coastal monitoring, rip current detection, and predicting the path of pollutants. Several methods exist to measure surface currents, some of ...

While we can’t usually observe coastal currents from the shoreline, water in the oceans of the world is in constant motion.

Two recent events involving coastal currents raise the question of which way the nearshore waters flow along the Central Coast. One of these was the tragic death of a swimmer at Lover’s Point in ...

As global electricity use grows, the strain on traditional energy sources increases. Renewable options like wind and solar have become popular, yet there's a massive, largely untapped resource beneath ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Volusia County has launched “Coastal Currents,” a new e-newsletter that delivers timely updates on beach conditions, coastal restoration efforts and environmental topics. As one ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Another round of coastal flooding is possible Saturday, particularly with tonight's high tide at the Jersey Shore. Beaches will ...

Oceanographers have been able to document the movement of ocean waters to indicate things like currents, weather, and more. Oceanographers document ocean currents, which include long, permanent ...

During the last ice age, the Atlantic Ocean’s powerful current system remained active and continued to transport warm, salty water from the tropics to the North Atlantic despite extensive ice cover ...
