NASA will hold a media teleconference at 1:30 p.m. EDT Friday, Oct. 29 to share information about the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE), a campaign to study small ocean whirlpools, eddies, and currents. Understanding small-scale ocean dynamics will help scientists better understand how Earths oceans help slow climate change.

Audio of the call will stream live and supporting visuals will be posted to the agencys website. Participants include:

  • Nadya Vinogradova-Shiffer, program manager and program scientist from NASAs Earth Science Division at agency Headquarters in Washington
  • J. Tom Farrar, S-MODE principal investigator, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
