How ocean currents play into the efforts to find the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
New-and-improved beta version 2-D State of the Ocean Visualization Tool (SOTO)
It provides near real-time data layers (vector and image) that are visualized in an HTML5 interface utilizing open-source tools such as Leaflet.js. SOTO 2D data layers are annotated to give contextual descriptions of the ocean's features and events, and kml overlays (ice extent, hurricane tracks, clouds).
In this early stage of release, we recommend using Google Chrome. The fast rendering capabilities make the experience that much better.

Waves and Satellites: Chasing the Big Ones (January, 2014)
To support surfers in determining where and when to surf, multiple services have developed detailed surf forecast products for popular and remote surf locations throughout the world.
Sea Surface Temperature in the Eastern Pacific
This visualization from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013 shows sea surface temperatures (SST) in the Eastern Pacific near Central America at 1-kilometer (~0.6 mile) resolution. Cold SSTs are clearly visible off the Central American coast from October to March. Such cooling events are associated with accelerated winds that blow through gaps in the mountainous terrain of Central America.
Sea Surface Temperature and the Agulhas Current
This visualization from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2013 shows sea surface temperatures (SST) associated with the Agulhas Current near South Africa at 1-kilometer (~0.6 mile) resolution. The Agulhas Current is a western boundary current that transports warm water southward in the Indian Ocean along the west coast of Africa. Near South Africa the current retroflects (or turns back on itself), called the Agulhas Retroflection, due to interactions with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
AQUARIUS detects effects of an extreme Mississippi river flooding event (November, 2013)
The Mississippi River is the largest river in North America, draining ~41% of the contiguous United States. More than half of the freshwater input into the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) comes from the Mississippi River.
