Some of the fastest ocean currents in the world have been discovered off South Africa, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar. These can be used to generate energy.

Ocean currents here reach power densities above 2,500 watts per square meter, making them 2.5 times stronger than top wind energy sites.

The ocean currents in the Atlantic are headed toward a total shut down, a new study shows. If that happens, less heat is exchanged across the globe and Europe could go into a deep freeze.

Nation & World Ocean system that moves heat gets closer to collapse, which could cause weather chaos, study says Feb. 9, 2024 at 11:15 am Updated Feb. 9, 2024 at 12:13 pm By SETH BORENSTEIN ...

Published: April 15, 2024 4:06pm EDT The effects of ocean warming are profound and . But sometimes changes in the patterns of winds and ocean currents cause seawater to suddenly cool, instead.

Ocean currents here reach power densities above 2,500 watts per square meter, making them 2.5 times stronger than top wind energy sites. The relatively shallow water—about 300 meters deep ...
