| The experimental tandem mission data will help scientists better detect and understand ocean currents, tides and eddies. |
| Wind patterns can predict ocean currents like the upwellings that fostered plankton, a clue to today's oil deposits. |
| But most arctic sea ice consists of pack ice, broken sheets moved by wind and ocean currents. |
| The normal situation has giant ocean currents flowing anticlockwise around the South Pacific Ocean. |
