A new round is done! 16 teams are out, 16 remain, and with this smaller crowd the World Cup keeps drifting westward, now sitting in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Where will it head next? We'll find out next Tuesday. Until then, enjoy!
Oceanofisica is a space for ocean analysis, but we don't live with our backs turned to current events either. So we put together this video: it simulates the World Cup trophy's journey based on which countries remain in the competition, using their average position as the reference point.
🌍 #otd in 1957, the International Geophysical Year began—30,000+ scientists from 66 countries studied Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, and more during the Cold War. A milestone in global collaboration. Read more: https://oceanofisica.ulpgc

In 1974, the CTD profiler became a standard tool, replacing Nansen bottles with real-time, high-resolution ocean data. 🌊 It transformed how we study ocean structure and still underpins modern sensors. Read more: https://oceanofisica.ulpgc.es/
