The ocean covers more than 70% of Earth?s surface and contains 97% of the planet?s water. This vast, critical reservoir supports a diversity of life and helps regulate Earth?s climate.

Ocean Topic: Biological Carbon Pump - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

The ocean?s so-called biological carbon pump removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores it deep in the ocean on timescales that are important to the lifespan of humans. The solubility carbon pump, which stores much larger amounts of carbon, operates on timescales in the thousands of years and is a much slower mixing process.

Ocean currents are the reason London rarely has a white Christmas despite having a latitude on par with central Quebec?s. They?re the reason San Francisco can be a pleasant 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius) while Sacramento swelters in the hundreds. Ocean dynamics determine whether it will be a good year for wheat in India.

The ocean matters The ocean covers more than two-thirds of Earth's surface, it makes life as we know it possible, and it sustains human society. Yet the global ocean is largely unexplored and unknown. What we do learn never ceases to amaze or to provoke more questions. These topics will?

In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), moves water throughout the world?s oceans powered by a combination of winds and ocean density. It not only distributes the ocean?s heat, moisture, and nutrients, but regulates the Earth?s climate and weather.

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.

Seamounts - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

At mid-ocean ridges, plates are spreading apart and magma rises to fill the gaps. Near subduction zones, plates collide, forcing ocean crust down toward Earth?s hot interior, where this crustal material melts, forming magma that rises buoyantly back to the surface and erupts to create volcanoes and seamounts.
