Researchers have introduced GOFLOW, a deep learning framework that measures ocean surface currents [1]. The system uses thermal images from geostationary weather satellites to track water movement [1][2]. This method provides an unprecedented level of detail for global ocean monitoring [2]. The framework focuses on submesoscale dynamics, which are vital for understanding climate patterns [1]. These detailed maps can also assist in search-and-rescue operations by predicting object drift [1]. The study was published in Nature Geoscience [1].
