Getting climate models to mimic real-time observations when it comes to warming is critical—small discrepancies can lead to misunderstandings about the rate of global warming as the climate changes. A ...

The ocean circulation is forced at large scales by boundary fluxes of momentum, heat and freshwater as well as by the astronomical tidal potential. The variability of these forcings provide energy to ...

While the nearshore surf zone of a non-tidal sea is dominated by phenomena related to wave energy dissipation, such as wave breaking and wave-driven currents 1, wave propagation in regions located ...

A team of planetary scientists and oceanographers from NOAA, the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services, and the University of Zagreb, has found an example of an exception to Ekman's ...

A NASA study suggests changing winds and currents in the Indian Ocean during the 1990s contributed to the observed warming of the ocean during that period. The findings, published in a recent issue of ...
