 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
