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 ...

After sifting through ocean current data dating back three decades, researchers at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) have identified ideal locations for generating renewable energy. Florida’s east ...
