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?

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 ...

A vital ocean current is stable, for now The Florida Current, a major contributor to a system of ocean currents that regulate Earth?s climate, has not weakened as much as previously reported. By ...
Ocean Topic: Biological Carbon Pump - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
9 Mar 2025 at 10:14am
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.

Climate Indicators hold key information for the most relevant domains of climate change: temperature and energy, atmospheric composition, ocean and water as well as the cryosphere. Cryosphere The cryosphere encompasses the frozen parts of Earth, including glaciers and ice sheets, sea ice, and any other frozen body of water.
Ocean Acidification - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
9 Mar 2025 at 11:57pm
Ocean acidification is a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by an increase of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

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 disadvantage of satellite data, however, is that the satellite ocean altimetry record only goes back to 1992. Combining satellite altimetry with tide gauges using a technique known as sea level reconstruction results in a dataset with the record length of the tide gauges and the near-global coverage of satellite altimetry.

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.
