Winds, Currents and Cores
NOAA's National Ocean Service (a sister agency to the
National Weather Service) provides information and data
(including current conditions) about currents, tides, and
related topics: http://www.nos.noaa.gov/
National Ocean Service provides some interesting on-line
examples from their historical chart and map collection at http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/csdl/map-coll.htm
The U. S. Navy's Meteorology and Oceanography Center
provides many forms of useful information, charts, and other
data. You can find information from several regional web
sites.
LDEO's Physical Oceanography group has information about
some of their research into the circulation and mixing of
ocean water, air-sea energy and water exchanges, and other
areas: http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/physocean/ours.html

NASA's
"Earth Science Enterprise" is a major multi-agency
program to observe our planet, expand our scientific
understandings, and utilize information for informed
decision-making. The
