- 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
- Ocean Zones - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The ocean water column is made up of five zones: the sunlight (epipelagic), twilight (mesopelagic), midnight (bathypelagic), abyssal (abyssopelagic) and hadal zones (trenches)

Oceans Before altering the air, microbes oxygenated large swaths of the sea Hundreds of millions of years before oxygen surged in the atmosphere 2 4 billion years ago, swaths of oxygen winked in
- 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
- Three reasons why the oceans record-breaking hot streak is devastating
Ocean warming enhances hurricane activity, bleaches coral reefs and melts Antarctic sea ice That warming has been off the charts for the past year
- Ocean Color | NASA Earthdata
Ocean color is a measure of sunlight that is reflected by the water and its components, such as phytoplankton, sediments, and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) Remotely collected ocean color data can be used as a substitute for directly sampling and examining water quality in any body of water
- Ocean Culture History - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Ocean culture and history explore the many ways people have interacted with the sea over time From ancient maritime traditions and early navigation to modern ocean exploration and conservation, the ocean has long influenced human societies, economies, and worldviews Today, that relationship continues through scientific discovery, engineering innovation, and a growing understanding of the
