It's #WorldOceanDay! This animation from NOAA’s Science On A Sphere shows how ocean surface temperatures vary over time. Watch the effects of the seasonal cycle, and how currents and eddies transport heat and water around the globe. Learn more: go.usa.gov/xJ8Gb | NOAA Satellite and Information Service

🌊🌍In this episode of Sci Sparks, dive in with Savannah as she talks about the difference between surface currents and deep ocean currents, and how both are created! | McWane Science Center

Earth's ocean currents 🌊 This data visualization is showing how the ocean moves water across the planet using data from NASA’s ECCO model, or Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean. The model pulls data from spacecraft, buoys, and more. Researchers rely on the model output to study ocean dynamics and to track conditions that are crucial for ecosystems and weather patterns.

As Earth warms, much of the extra heat is stored in the planet’s ocean. Monitoring the magnitude of that heat content is difficult, but a surprising feature of the tides could help. Scientists are developing a new way to use satellite observations of magnetic fields to measure heat stored in the ocean. http://go.nasa.gov/2hn1G7D | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
