S-MODE Unleashed: NASA's Aerial and Nautical Pursuit of Ocean Eddies

NASA's S-MODE (Submesoscale Processes and Lagrangian Analysis on the Shelf) initiative is finally in action! Following a pandemic-induced delay, this field campaign sets out to explore the impact of small-scale whirlpools and ocean currents on climate change. Venturing into both the skies and the seas, NASA aims to unravel the intricate dance of these ocean eddies, offering crucial insights into Earth's climate dynamics. Join us on this scientific odyssey as S-MODE takes flight and sails the seas to deepen our understanding of the ocean's role in shaping our planet's climate. #NASAStudy #ClimateScience #OceanExploration #SMODEStudy #OceanEddies #climateresearch
