 The kinetic energy transfer between the atmosphere and oceans, known as wind work, can have a significant effect on ocean dynamics. Recent studies have shown that the amount of wind work in the global ocean has increased significantly over the past decade, likely due to improved resolution of models and observations. A proposed satellite mission, Odysia, could provide accurate measurements of wind work globally, but it would need to be able to measure winds and currents at higher resolutions than currently available.
