Initial Findings
Initial results of the GOCE satellite mission were presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2010 Fall Meeting by Dr Rory Bingham from Newcastle University, UK. The maps produced from the GOCE data show ocean currents in much finer detail than previously available. Even very small details like the Mann Eddy in the North Atlantic are visible in the data, as was the effect of Hurricane Igor (2010).

“Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.”
—Henry George (1839–1897)
“Not many appreciate the ultimate power and potential usefulness of basic knowledge accumulated by obscure, unseen investigators who, in a lifetime of intensive study, may never see any practical use for their findings but who go on seeking answers to the unknown without thought of financial or practical gain.”
