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
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)
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 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
Ocean Encounters: Restless Seas - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution How do ocean currents shape weather, climate, and life? Even on the calmest day, the ocean is constantly in motion From powerful ocean currents to the smallest eddy, moving seawater is a key driver of the Earth system, distributing heat, nutrients, and carbon—sustaining life at every scale and shaping weather and climate around the globe
