New research reveals hurricanes drive heat deeper into oceans than previously thought.

New research shows that hurricanes not only churn water at the surface but also push heat deep into the ocean, which can have far-reaching consequences. Underwater waves produced by the storm can push the heat roughly four times deeper than mixing alone, sending it to a depth where the heat is trapped far from the surface. From there, deep sea currents can transport it thousands of miles, ultimately affecting regions far from the storm.
