Deep Ocean Discovery Reveals Hidden Climate Connection
New research reveals the deep equatorial Pacific isn’t the quiet realm scientists once assumed. Analysis of five years of mooring data shows significant energy transfers from intermediate to deep ocean layers through equatorial wave dynamics.
Deep Ocean Surprise
The deep ocean has long been considered Earth’s quiet basement—a stable, largely isolated environment where little changes. That conventional wisdom is now being challenged by new findings from the western equatorial Pacific, where researchers have detected surprisingly energetic movements at depths previously thought to be nearly motionless.
