Ocean | NASA Earthdata The global ocean covers more than 70 percent of Earth’s surface and contains 97 percent of the planet’s water Data collected by NASA’s Earth-observing instruments help scientists understand how the ocean supports a vast abundance of life, regulates the climate, provides a large amount of the planet’s oxygen, and stores an abundance of
Ocean Topics - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution The global ocean provides food, minerals, and other valuable resources Read up on the science and technological advances that can inform management of the ocean so that fisheries remain stable, ecosystems that support the food web are protected, new ocean-based energy sources do not harm marine life, and humans can continue to live in harmony with the ocean for generations to come
Oceans - Science News 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
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)
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
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is the world's premier independent organization dedicated exclusively to ocean research, technology, and education We combine state-of-the-art science, engineering, and ship operations to unravel the mysteries of the deep and devise science-based solutions to planet-wide problems
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
Ocean Life - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Every drop of ocean water holds living things Across Earth's history, the ocean has nurtured nearly every form of life that has ever existed Immerse yourself in the diverse ecosystems around coral reefs, the surprising homes of marine microbes, the migrations of giant marine mammals, and the clues embedded in Environmental DNA
Tracking Ocean Plastic From Space | NASA Earthdata When there’s plastic or other debris in the ocean, waves are dampened, creating less roughness than expected “In cleaner waters there’s a high degree of agreement between ocean roughness and wind speed,” said Professor Chris Ruf, principal investigator of the CYGNSS mission and one of the authors of the research
Ocean Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution The global ocean circulation system also encompasses periodic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, which can trigger significant shifts in weather patterns and affect fisheries worldwide In polar regions - especially the Arctic and the North Atlantic - melting ice and changes in salinity play an increasing role in shaping circulation
