NASA’s SWOT Satellite Reveals Big Impact of Small Ocean Currents and Waves in n Marine Ecosystems
NASA’s SWOT satellite, in collaboration with CNES, reveals how submesoscale ocean features just a mile wide drive vital vertical circulation. These small currents transport heat, carbon, and nutrients, profoundly influencing marine ecosystems and climate systems. The mission’s high-resolution data is reshaping how scientists model ocean-atmosph...

New Study Reveals Recent Ice Gains in Antarctica, But Long-Term Melting Continues
A study led by researchers at Tongji University using NASA's GRACE satellites has observed recent ice gains in Antarctica from 2021 to 2023, mainly due to unusual precipitation. However, the long-term satellite data from 2002 to 2020 shows a significant and accelerating trend of ice loss. However, experts emphasize this short-term gain does not rev...
