Los oc\u00e9anos cubren siete d\u00e9cimas partes de la superficie del planeta. Sin embargo, en muchos aspectos, siguen siendo un misterio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Los oc\u00e9anos tienen grandes efectos sobre el clima y la atm\u00f3sfera. Act\u00faan como almacenes de calor en el invierno y fuentes de aire acondicionado en el verano.<\/p>\n<p>Las corrientes oce\u00e1nicas funcionan como gigantescas cintas transportadoras, llevando el calor del ecuador hacia los polos. Si la Corriente del Golfo desapareciese, Europa Occidental ser\u00eda tan fr\u00eda como Canad\u00e1 en el invierno.<\/p>\n<p>Hay m\u00e1s vida en los oc\u00e9anos que en cualquier otro lugar de la Tierra. Incluso el plancton, las formas m\u00e1s diminutas de vida oce\u00e1nica, absorbe enormes cantidades de di\u00f3xido de carbono, contribuyendo a mejorar el clima. Sin embargo, las descargas de petr\u00f3leo y desechos venenosos en los oc\u00e9anos son un problema importante.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"800\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2004\/07\/Atlantic_ocean_seen_by_Envisat_s_AATSR2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2004\/07\/atlantic_ocean_seen_by_envisat_s_aatsr2\/17903677-2-eng-GB\/Atlantic_ocean_seen_by_Envisat_s_AATSR.jpg\" alt=\"Atlantic ocean seen by Envisat&#x27;s AATSR\"><figcaption>El oc\u00e9ano Atl\u00e1ntico visto por el AATSR del Envisat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Los sat\u00e9lites son ideales para estudiar y trazar mapas de los inmensos mares.
