Ocean Currents and Climate Introduction

Interactive

How these maps track ocean currents:

• Data marker buoys in the ocean send radio signals for us to follow where they start and end.
• Satellites like Poseidon and Jason observe ocean currents from space by measuring sea surface height.
• And underwater robots like Argo track deep ocean currents.
• INTERACTIVE MAPS
