This page doesn't appear to be a stub so much as lacks a few bits of information. Most noticeable is the cause of the ocean currents, and their applications in navigation, but otherwise, I wouldn't call it much of a stub. 4.227.20.58 ( talk) 13:18, 23 December 2004 (UTC) I think it has a lot of information but you need to talk a bit about the pictures below them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.82.98.161 ( talk) 19:25, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article include the thermohaline circulation? I'm not an oceanographer, but it appears to be pretty important to the the oceans. It should also have it's own heading, maybe? Worldwide? Sword 21:57, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Does it really need three maps aside the article (the third of which is merely an enhanced version of the second)? Super Jedi Droid 00:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
"Coral reefs are some of the most fascinating..." That sentence doesn't seem especially encyclopedial. Removeth thou who agree! 80.217.105.223 ( talk) 12:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
I am going to agree with you on that, but there should still be something about coral reefs in this article, as many are fed by currents.

I would like to see a discussion about the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field and ocean currents. 192.147.58.6 ( talk) 18:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia can be edited and I need it for the geobee. This won't help me at all. 76.101.58.202 ( talk) 01:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I found nothing about the quantity of the currents. Anyone, who can say something about that? itu —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.31.212.190 ( talk) 03:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Could someone fix that? AlexBriggs12 ( talk) 16:09, 1 April 2009 (UTC) this is stupid! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.111.227 ( talk) 22:04, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

The two maps appear to contradict each other on the direction of the current in the Indian Ocean north of the Equator. The first maps shows counter-clockwise and the second map shows clockwise. The main currents in the North Atlantic and North Pacific seem to be clockwise.I also think you dont have to show the same picture two times because it confuses people which we are trying to avoid.

Hi. I typed in some of the text found on Wikipedia in brackets onto Google and much of it came up in searches from sites such as NASA and Yahoo answers. Did we copy from them or did they copy from us? Hope this isn't a copyright issue. Thanks. ~ AH1 ( discuss!) 14:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Is the classification to warm and cold currents based on the temperature differential between the ocean current and the surrounding ocean on a given latitude? -- 88.114.11.168 ( talk) 16:21, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Yes, it is. 72.214.13.2 ( talk) 01:33, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
These ideas should be fixed in the article. Fev 02:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fev ( User talk:Fev|talk]] • contribs)
I see that the North Atlantic current is a great circle making sailing ship travel between England and North America relatively reliable, but there must be more to centuries-old sailing than this. What was involved in sailing ships reliably getting from England to India and back again? Where is the information on how such great journeys were reliably made? LFlagg ( talk) 02:47, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
The idea of submarine rivers is very hard to believe. It is a scientific fraud. Besides, oceanic currents ARE NOT wind driven. However, most times winds and oceanic currents follow similar trayectories or paths. The reason for this, is that both winds and currents are caused by the same process: the rotation movement of the Earth. --Fev 00:43, 30 April 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fev ( talk • contribs)
Very superficially covered, with no really useful links. Either more comprehensive coverage of the mechanism in this article, or a main article to link to would help close this knowledge gap. Much of the relevant information may already be scattered across articles such as Ekman transport, Wind wave etc. Include things like the reason why Western boundary currents are narrower than eastern equatorward currents. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 09:30, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
