A fitting addition to his interactive global windmap, Cameron Beccario‘s interactive map of Earth’s ocean currents takes near-realtime data-mapping to the seas – and the results are ...

Clicking on the "Earth" button will present a feast of options for showing different map projections or data overlays. In addition to wind, you can look at ocean currents, temperature, humidity ...

The Earth Wind Map gathers weather data from the Global Forecast System at the National Center for Environmental Prediction, a NOAA initiative. The script then translates the data into a user ...

Yu and her colleagues also studied seamounts, or underwater volcanoes, which affect ocean currents and often act as hotspots for biodiversity. Older satellites have mapped large seamounts, but the ...

Earth has such current systems, too: we can even see them in the form of colorful displays of light in the night sky near the polar regions known as the aurora, or northern and southern lights.

Gravity Map to Trace Tectonics, Currents The European Space Agency launched GOCE in March 2009 into a low polar orbit, circling about 158 miles (255 kilometers) above the planet's surface.

The first thing to keep in mind is that ocean currents are very thin compared to the diameter of Earth. They’re only about four kilometers (13,000 feet) deep at most, and surface currents can be just ...

In the remainder of its planned three-year science mission, SWOT will continue to collect data on ocean currents, map the ocean floor and assess global freshwater availability throughout the year.
