Unified Ocean Data from Two Satellites

Scientists are combining data from two different satellites, one that stopped working back in

2011, to create one massive, unified view of our oceans. This project gives

us a daily global map showing wind speed, water vapor in the air,

and even the water inside clouds. The real magic is how they calibrated the old and new

instruments to match perfectly, like making two different phone cameras produce

the exact same colors. This creates a nearly unbroken record of ocean conditions from 2002 all the

way to today. It's a powerful tool for seeing long-term trends and understanding

our planet's climate.
