Why did a giant hole appear in the sea ice off Antarctica in 2016 and 2017, after decades of more typical sea ice cover? Years of Southern Ocean data have explained the phenomenon, helping oceanographers to better predict these features and study their role in global ocean cycles.
The 天美影院is part of an international program that has revolutionized ocean measurements. This fall, the program made its 2 millionth measurement, reporting temperature and salinity in the top mile of the world’s oceans.
Oceanographers are building swimming robots to carry out an ambitious mission gathering climate data from one of Earth’s most challenging locations: the icy water that surrounds Antarctica.
Autonomous floating sensors built at the 天美影院are being deployed to track conditions in the waters surrounding Antarctica.
Floating sensors built at the 天美影院will be central to a new $21 million effort to learn how the ocean surrounding Antarctica influences climate.
Eleven 天美影院undergraduates leave today on an unusually ambitious research and teaching expedition to study the Kuroshio Current off Japan.
The only global-ocean climate-monitoring system 鈥� comprised of satellites and specialized floats 鈥� passed a milestone earlier this month when a 天美影院and Scripps Institution of Oceanography expedition was in a position to deploy Argo float No.
A 天美影院 oceanographer is in Washington, D.C., today for a press conference announcing the first phase of a program that could take climate forecasting to the next level of accuracy by routinely making measurements up to a mile beneath the sea surface at points across all the world’s oceans.
