AI-powered system offers unprecedented insight into the forces shaping Earth's climate
Researchers have developed an AI-powered system called GOFLOW that reconstructs high-resolution ocean current patterns from satellite imagery. This tool allows scientists to observe small-scale ocean dynamics that were previously invisible.
Why it matters
Improved observation of ocean currents provides critical data for understanding climate change, heat distribution, and weather patterns.

Now, a new study led by Tel Aviv University has unveiled a breakthrough that allows scientists to observe these hidden motions with unprecedented clarity.
The researchers developed GOFLOW, an artificial intelligence-powered system that can reconstruct high-resolution ocean current patterns directly from satellite images. The technology provides scientists with an entirely new way to study the small-scale ocean dynamics that influence weather, climate change and the exchange of heat and gases between the ocean and atmosphere.
