Located at the southernmost end of Earth, the Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica like a gigantic ring. Sometimes called the Antarctic Ocean, its currents flow around the continent in enormous spirals, pushing large amounts of cold water into the other oceans.位于地球最南端的南大洋像一个巨大的环...
Using the example of the surface currents map 褋onstructed for the Northern Atlantic on the basis of data of modern observations by means of drifting buoys, it is shown that the previously published maps of ocean surface currents, based on ship drift data, have become outdated and require an...
Just take a look atNASA’s ocean currents maps. They show the beauty and complex nature of this phenomenon. Ahoy, matey! Let’s set sail on a journey to Earth’s major ocean currents If you look at a world map, you can see thatEarth’s 5 oceansare vast. In fact, oceans covermore...
By using GIS technology, we can assess data coverage provided by different instruments and different sources. The maps below show some of the public data holdings at the IHO DCDB. DCDB - Multibeam Archive Trackline Coverage - representing primarily raw, unprocessed data. DCDB - Singlebeam Coverag...
During the 1980's, the Commission published the Geological Atlas of the World, which included the maps of the 5 oceans of the globe. Two decades have elapsed and the knowledge of the sea-floor experienced very significant progress; therefore some 5 years ago, the Commission decided to launch...
1942: Maps of the Whole World Ocean Several news articles published in fall 2018 mentioned that Athelstan Spilhaus designed his world ocean map in 1942. Reviewing his publications from that year, no such projection is presented. He did present two world ocean maps that year – one used the ...

ships. The work of the American naval officerMatthew Fontaine Mauryin the 1840s and ’50s paved the way for generations of future researchers. His exhaustive calculations of Atlantic winds and currents, as well as his early seafloor maps, were the beginning of modern oceanography in theUnited ...
These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O'Reilly, 2007) ...
