Global ocean map in Spilhaus projection showing Sea Level Anomaly for April 30, 2026. Colors range from deep blue (anomaly below −1 m) to deep red (above +0.8 m). Most ocean areas show slight positive anomalies (light red/pink), with localized negative anomalies (blue) visible in parts of the Southern Ocean and coastal regions. Data source: CMEMS SEALEVEL_GLO_PHY_L4_NRT_008_046.
Line chart showing accumulated precipitation since October 1st at Gando (Gran Canaria Airport, Spain). The x-axis spans from October to September (hydrological year); the y-axis shows millimetres of accumulated rainfall. Grey shading indicates the historical distribution for 1951–2024: dark grey covers the 25–75th percentile range, light grey the 5–95th percentile range, and dashed black lines show the all-time maximum and minimum. A white line marks the historical median. The red line shows the 2025–26 hydrological year, which tracks well above the median throughout the rainy season (October–March), reaching 212.9 mm by late April — roughly double the historical median and approaching the 95th percentile.

Mind map diagram with "Physical Oceanography" as the central node, surrounded by six thematic branches: Circulation and Climate (mesoscale, large scale, submesoscale), Waves (surface waves, tsunamis, planetary waves, internal waves, wave-current interactions, tides), Cross-Cutting Processes (turbulence, vertical and lateral mixing, physical-chemical interactions), Applications (contaminant transport, climate change modeling, marine resource management, disaster prevention), Interactions (atmosphere-ocean, ocean-ecosystems, interaction with sea ice), and Methods (observational, numerical modeling, AI & machine learning, theory, big data analysis).
