An artistic visualization of ocean currents from NASA has people mesmerized learning about our planet's underwater highways.

Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As ...

Scientists have developed a new method to measure ocean surface currents over large areas in greater detail than ever before. Called GOFLOW (Geostationary Ocean Flow), the approach applies deep ...

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite is allowing researchers to directly observe small-scale ocean processes across the globe for the first time. An eddy is like a mini whirlpool in ...
