CNET Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have unveiled GOFlow, an artificial‑intelligence system that extracts surface‑current information from thermal satellite imagery. Published in Nature Geoscience on April 13, the study shows the AI can track small, fast‑changing ocean currents with far greater resolution than traditional methods. By comparing GOFlow’s outputs to ship‑based measurements and conventional satellite data, the team demonstrated its accuracy while highlighting limitations such as cloud cover. The code will be released publicly, promising broader use of AI in Earth observation and climate research.
