- Ocean | NASA Earthdata
The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth’s surface and contains 97% of the planet’s water This vast, critical reservoir supports a abundance of life and helps regulate Earth’s climate
- Ocean Topics - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The ocean plays a central role in global climate and regional weather patterns Explore how the ocean regulates climate by absorbing carbon, the ways a warming ocean impacts the intensity of storms and the height of the sea, and how scientists study the ocean's climate history
- How the Ocean Works - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Understanding how the ocean works is foundational to understanding life on this planet and to the discipline of oceanography Get to know the big systems of the ocean: its cycles, circulation, zones, and connection to the atmosphere Learn about ocean chemistry, life and landscapes on the seafloor, plate movements, shorelines, and icy regions
- The Gulf Stream - NASA Earthdata
The ocean is a vast and critical reservoir that supports a diversity of life, helps regulate climate, provides a large amount of the planet’s oxygen, and stores an abundance of carbon dioxide NASA satellite, airborne, and in-situ missions and projects are constantly collecting data about the global ocean
- Ocean Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Ocean circulation refers to the flow of water throughout the world's oceans, which acts as a fundamental driver of Earth's climate This continuous movement redistributes heat, cycles essential nutrients for marine life, and affects the structure and health of ocean ecosystems
- SOTO | NASA Earthdata
State of the Ocean (SOTO) is a suite of tools presented through an interactive, web-based visualization front end It provides access to a broad range of satellite-derived products with key parameters of interest to the oceanographic community SOTO facilitates visual exploration and comparative analysis of physical oceanographic data, enabling scientific oceanographic, climate, and related
