Earth’s oceans are always in motion. 🌊 Ocean currents transport nutrients, carbon, heat, and organisms around the planet, and play a vital role in our planet’s climate. NASA’s ECCO model incorporates ocean measurements from satellites, ocean buoys, and more. This data provides a comprehensive look at ocean currents – where they flow, how fast they move, and how warm or salty the water is, among other features. The model also allows scientists to run virtual experiments that would be too expensi
