Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or ...

The 12 hour Surface Analysis map shows current weather conditions ... tracing the values of relevant quantities such as sea level pressure, temperature, and cloud cover onto a geographical ...

The Current Temperature map shows the current temperatures color contoured every 5 degrees F. Temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold ...

In addition to controlling physical properties, the variation in space and time of temperature and salinity are also important water mass tracers that can be used to map the ocean circulation.

Currents also move nutrients and salt throughout Earth's ocean basins. Swirling vortexes of the Agulhas rings stand out in ECCO temperature and salinity maps as they move warm, salty water from ...
