View | 1 | Ocean Vector Winds | When wind blows across our ocean, it roughens its surface. Some instruments in Earth's orbit can retrieve energy pulses scattered off ocean waves. The resulting patterns reveal the speed and direction of winds. | Large: banner-01.jpg |
View | 11 | Marine Heatwaves | Influenced by ocean winds, these extreme events are becoming more frequent. | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_marine_heatwaves.jpg |
View | 12 | Decades of Teamwork | A new team has been selected by NASA to continue the work of previous researchers. This group also brings novel expertise and fresh perspectives to enhance the societal impact of ocean vector winds studies. | Large: ocean-winds-team.jpg |
View | 13 | Hundreds of Publications | With topics ranging from air-sea exchange at molecular scales to the global effects of El NiƱo, members of the Ocean Vector Winds Science Team have contributed to over 800 peer-reviewed publications. | Large: banner-02.jpg |
View | 14 | Measurable Impact | Data from ocean wind satellites provide a clear picture of relative wind speeds. These observations are indicative of the storm's size and strength. Moreover, ocean vector wind images tell us which direction the winds are blowing. | Large: banner-04.jpg |
View | 10 | Salt & the Wind | Exploring ties between wind, ocean layers and dissolved salt in our seas | Large: SaltWind_rotator.png |
View | 9 | Turns Out that Ocean Motion Impacts Winds | Ocean currents can influence winds far above Earth's surface | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_ocean_influences_winds.jpg |
View | 8 | Beyond the Blob | Marine heatwaves... all around us! | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_blob.jpg |
View | 7 | Vexed by HEX | Driven by winds, our sea levels can hit high extremes | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_vexed_by_hex.jpg |
View | 6 | Ocean Winds & Microplastics | Connected in surprising ways | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_microplastics.jpg |
View | 5 | Current Thinking | How does feedback from the upper ocean impact air-sea interactions? | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_current_thinking.jpg |
View | 4 | Space Truthing Ocean Wind? | A mystery arises while calibrating wind from our seas and space | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_space_truthing.jpg |
View | 3 | Taking Winds to the Next Level | Explore winds from the surface to the stratosphere! | Large: Winds_Next_Level_Rotator.jpg |
View | 2 | Yes, Boundaries! | Sensing clouds and the winds below them | Large: nasa_winds_rotator_yes_boundaries.jpg |
