Both are the result of accelerated technologies, such as solid-state memory, lithium batteries, and multicore processors, which are dramatically improving sampling via a multitude of platforms and are enabling models of realistic complexity. The resulting datasets and simulations are being used to test hypotheses and *

Specifically, the oceans remain opaque to all forms of radiation, and thus satellite remote sensing remains a surface-biased tool. Computational models remain under-resolved in space and time, even with the rapid acceleration of processor speed.

While progress accrues in the basic science, predictive models in these areas are becoming valuable tools for resource management. Already, physical models of circulation, impressive in their richness of phenomena and fidelity to data, are being challenged to include biology at multiple scales.
