South Africa has one of the fastest and strongest flowing currents in the world running along its east coast: the Agulhas Current. It influences local as well as global rainfall and climate. Katherine ...

3 years of in situ measurements, combined with along-track satellite data to create long-term index of Agulhas Current transport VIRGINIA KEY, Fla. -- The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) ...

Off the southeastern coast of Africa, where the Agulhas Current barrels southward like a river within the ocean, a network of moored instruments has been quietly recording something that matters far ...

Summer rainfall on the southeast coast of Africa is shown to be influenced by the proximity and temperature of the adjacent warm Agulhas Current. Student's t-test correlations between coastal rainfall ...

This figure shows the Agulhas system and its leakage into the South Atlantic. The southward shift of the winds in a warming climate (right panel) cause a southward shift of the subtropical front (red ...

Ocean eddies are churning harder, driving coastal currents and temperature extremes by warming surface waters while cooling deeper layers.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the image below was “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh. The tiny swirls off the coast of Africa are not only beautiful, but they also remind us of ...
