In this activity, students view and analyze buoy, satellite, and temperature vs. depth data to learn about ocean circulation and how it is related to atmospheric circulation. On this Starting Point page, users can access information about the exercise's learning goals, context for use, teaching notes and tips, teaching materials, assessment ideas, references and topics covered.

This resource uses text, images, maps and a laboratory exercise to explain how differences in the temperature and salinity of ocean water cause the formation of deep-ocean currents. It is part of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's "Ocean Surface Topography from Space" website. This material is also available on the "Visit to An Ocean Planet" CD-ROM.

An
online
ocean
science
course
for
K-12
teachers.
This
course
explores
the
ocean
within
the
Earth
system
with
special
emphasis
on
(1)
water
and
energy
flow
into
and
out
of
the
ocean,
(2)
the
internal
properties
of
the
ocean,
(3)
interactions
between
the
ocean
and
the
other
components
of
the
Earth
system,
and
(4)
human
and
societal
impacts
on
those
interactions.

describes
the
role
of
the
oceans,
clouds,

in
moderating
climate,
which
has
resulted
in
less-than-expected
temperature
increases
as
carbon

levels
have
increased.

In
this
activity,
students
will
study
data
from
satellite
temperature
images
and
underwater
sensors
(CTDs)
to
look
for
evidence
of
an
upwelling
off
the
coast
of
New
Jersey.
Based
on
their
new
knowledge,
they
will
use
real-time
ocean
data
from
the
Coastal
Ocean
Observatory
Laboratory
(COOLroom)
to
create
their
own

The
ocean
and
atmosphere
each
react
to
changes
in
the
other.
These
reactions
and
counter-reactions
can
snowball
until
the
system
builds
to
a
point
where
potentially
disastrous
effects
occur,
such
as
the
El
Nino
events
of
1982-83
and
1997-98.
