Aboard an Australian research vessel, the RV Investigator, we sailed for 63 days from Antarctica’s ice edge to the warm equator in the South Pacific and collected 387 water samples. Our goal? To determine how the genetic code of thousands of different micro-organisms can provide insights into the ocean’s functional diversity — the range of tasks performed by bacteria in the ocean. Our research was published yesterday in Nature Communications. It showed how bacteria can help us measure sh...

It is flowing downwards, rather than if you have looking at nigeria or in peru, where these currents are moving upwards. these two currents are going together and flowing down along the west australian coastline. were talking -- thats more part of the african/asian monsoonal rate to be able to better predict ocean currents, where they are going, how they affect the climate, temperature of those upper boundary currents of the ocean. so, its a very complex structure over there. thats why there is ...
