The ocean has its own version of “weather” systems, including fronts, eddies, and gravity waves. These systems are similar in concept to atmospheric weather but occur underwater. These systems are driven by variations in temperature, salinity, density, and other factors, and they play a crucial role in shaping marine environments and supporting marine life.
