• Temperature plays a crucial role in the functioning of marine life, including metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Marine species often have a narrow temperature range within which they can thrive, and even small differences in water temperature can be significant.
• Salinity is an important property of the biogeochemistry of natural waters and determines which species inhabit a given area.
• Ocean current data enables the study of marine debris and climate change, and to improving the efficiency of ocean freight.
• Phytoplankton produce up to half the oxygen we breathe, sequester vast amounts of carbon, and are the base of the ocean food web.
