Offshore wind turbines change the air and ocean currents. The rotors extract wind energy and influence surface currents, while the turbine pillars underwater act as obstacles and slow down tidal ...

Changes in wind patterns play the leading role in influencing often devastating tropical rainfall changes, rather than simply the warming atmosphere holding more moisture, according to new research.

A Florida International University student has exposed a hidden driver of coastal flooding, and it could help improve warning systems for entire communities. Earth and Environment Ph.D. student ...

The North Sea is a dynamic shelf sea, strongly influenced by wind and tidal forces and characterized by seasonal stratification. Its physical environment plays a critical role in driving ...

Current–wind interaction modulates air–sea momentum and turbulent heat fluxes, which are critical in the energy cycle of tropical cyclones (TCs). However, the effects of the surface currents on ...
