Coming to a Web browser near you--a giant user-generated simulation of the world's oceans. Known as theBlu, the huge collaborative project is the first effort from Wemo, a startup built by a series of ...

Chinese scientists claim to have developed the world’s most advanced ocean simulation system, achieving a resolution of 0.6 miles (1 kilometer). This breakthrough sets a new benchmark in global ocean ...

Oceanographers may have solved one of the biggest sea mysteries in years: why the upper ocean didn’t warm between 2003 and 2010, even as heat-trapping greenhouse gases accumulated in the air above.

A team of researchers has used computer models to simulate tropical cyclones at high resolutions and investigate their effect ...

We all know climate change is affecting weather systems and ecosystems around the world, but exactly how and in what way is still a topic of intense study. New simulations made possible by ...

Researchers are using a new tool to understand ocean current data with the help of high-resolution global ocean simulations. The tool, developed by researchers at NASA's Advanced Supercomputing ...

One of the trickiest parts of any computer simulation is making water look realistic. So imagine the programmer’s task when it comes to simulating entire oceans. Today, Emmanuelle Darles at the ...

There's a lot of tidal movement under the ocean's surface, but we haven't had a great understanding of it so far. Internal tides, created around continental shelf breaks, are far more difficult to ...
