Project Description

Ocean Currents is a continuous, directional movements of seawater in the world’s oceans, driven by factors such as wind, temperature, and salinity variations. They play a significant role in regulating Earth’s climate.

Connection to Climate Change: Ocean currents help distribute heat around the planet, influencing regional climates. Climate change can alter these currents, leading to shifts in weather patterns, sea level rise, and the distribution of marine species. Understanding and monitoring ocean currents is essential for assessing and adapting to the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
