<TR>
<TD colSpan=3>This visualization shows ocean surface currents around the
world during the period from June 2005 through December 2007. The
visualization does not include a narration or annotations; the goal was to
use ocean flow data to create a simple, visceral experience.
<P>
<P>This visualization was produced using NASA/JPL's computational model
called Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II or <A
href="http://ecco2.jpl.nasa.gov/">ECCO2.</A>. ECCO2 is high resolution
model of the global ocean and sea-ice. ECCO2 attempts to model the oceans
and sea ice to increasingly accurate resolutions that begin to resolve
ocean eddies and other narrow-current systems which transport heat and
carbon in the oceans.The ECCO2 model simulates ocean flows at all depths,
but only surface flows are used in this visualization. The dark patterns
under the ocean represent the undersea bathymetry. Topographic land
exaggeration is 20x and bathymetric exaggeration is 40x.
<P>
<P>This visualization was created as a last minute entry for theSIGGRAPH
2011 computer animation festival; however, it was not accepted.
