Agulhas Current flows along east coast of South Africa, transporting warm, salty water away from tropics. New York: The Indian Ocean's Agulhas Current -- one of the strongest currents in the world -- ...

A new study by University of Miami researchers suggests that the Indian Ocean's Agulhas Current is growing wider but not more powerful. The results can be correlated with data on global climate change ...

A major focus of concern for the coming century is understanding how the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) will respond to the changing temperatures and wind patterns brought on by ...
