- Ocean Circulation - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Ocean circulation refers to the flow of water throughout the world's oceans, which acts as a fundamental driver of Earth's climate This continuous movement redistributes heat, cycles essential nutrients for marine life, and affects the structure and health of ocean ecosystems
- Ocean Topics - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The ocean plays a central role in global climate and regional weather patterns Explore how the ocean regulates climate by absorbing carbon, the ways a warming ocean impacts the intensity of storms and the height of the sea, and how scientists study the ocean's climate history

- Ocean Acidification - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Ocean acidification is a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by an increase of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
- The Gulf Stream - NASA Earthdata
The ocean is a vast and critical reservoir that supports a diversity of life, helps regulate climate, provides a large amount of the planet’s oxygen, and stores an abundance of carbon dioxide NASA satellite, airborne, and in-situ missions and projects are constantly collecting data about the global ocean
- Ocean Topic: Biological Carbon Pump - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The ocean’s so-called biological carbon pump removes carbon from the atmosphere and stores it deep in the ocean on timescales that are important to the lifespan of humans The solubility carbon pump, which stores much larger amounts of carbon, operates on timescales in the thousands of years and is a much slower mixing process
