Скачать или смотреть Mapping 100,000 Seamounts: A New Era for Oceanography

In a groundbreaking advancement for oceanic research, scientists have successfully mapped nearly 100,000 submerged seamounts using data from NASA's SWOT satellite. This new high-resolution mapping offers one of the most detailed views of the ocean floor ever created, which is vital for navigation, understanding deep-sea currents, and geological processes. The SWOT satellite, which surveys 90% of the planet every 21 days, identifies minute variations in sea surface height caused by these underwater formations, enhancing our knowledge of the ocean's geological history. This innovative technology increases the known number of seamounts from 44,000 to an astounding potential 100,000. Discover how these findings can reshape our understanding of marine life and ocean dynamics. Join the conversation and stay informed about the latest developments in ocean research.
