Until now, a global evaluation of ocean current energy with actual data was lacking. Using 30 years of NOAA's Global Drifter Program data, a study shows that ocean currents off Florida's East Coast ...

This map of kinetic energy flux shows the global average power density calculated using drifter data in watts per square meter. As global electricity demand grows, traditional energy sources are under ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind ...
