Ionia Ocean Colour - A resource provided by the European Space Research Institute of the European Space Agency (ESA/ESRIN) who have collected Ocean Color data between 1978 and 1986 from Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) over European and North West Africa waters. The Ocean Color data collection was restarted in August 1997 with IRS-P3-MOS and in September 1997 with SeaWiFS. All information concerning those datasets are accessible through this WEB server.

JPL Ocean Science Research Element - This division uses satellite data to understand and model the world ocean and its currents, the polar sea-ice cover and ice sheets, biological processes near the ocean surface, and the exchanges of water and energy between ocean and atmosphere.

NASA's Oceanography Program - As part of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) NASA Oceanography contributes to our understanding of planet Earth as a system in both behavior and evolution. ESE's mission is to develop an understanding of the total Earth system and the effects of natural and human-induced changes on the global environment.

Ocean Surface Winds Derived from the SeaWinds Scatterometer - This page features a map that displays the ocean surface winds at a 10m height from daily satellite passes as processed by NOAA/NESDIS. These maps are developed from near real-time data collected by NASA/JPL's SeaWinds Scatterometer aboard the QuikSCAT spacecraft.

Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAC) - PO.DAAC is an element of the Earth Observing System Data Information System (EOSDIS), is responsible for archiving and distributing data relevant to the physical state of the ocean. [NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory]

Sea and Space - This educational website is designed to provide access to a broad range of materials having to do with Earth resources, remote sensing, oceanography, and climatology.

Seaflux From Space - From NASA JPL: Seaflux from Space is an information system designed to devise, display, and disseminate spacebased ocean-atmosphere fluxes of momentum, heat and water. Seaflux provides, at near-real-time, twice-daily maps of ocean surface winds over global oceans, derived from the observations by the scatterometer SeaWinds on space mission QuikSCAT.
