Global Energy-saving Map of Strong Ocean Currents
Description: This study provides a global, detailed, and complete energy-saving map of strong ocean currents from the absolute geostrophic velocities calculated from satellite altimetry data, with the focus on the strong Western Boundary Currents in the global ocean. Since global fishing vessels annually generate roughly 130 million tons of CO2, effective utilization of the energy-saving map could significantly reduce CO2 emissions from ship operations.
