Global surface currents 2005-2007 C016 / 8116
Global surface currents 2005-2007. Computer visualisation showing ocean surface currents around the world, centred on the Indian Ocean, during the period from June 2005 to December 2007. The temperature of the waters is colour-coded from blue (cold), through yellow, to red (hot). This visualisation was produced using model output from the joint MIT/JPL project: Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II (ECCO2). ECCO2 uses the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) general circulation model (MITgcm) to synthesise satellite and in-situ data of the global ocean and sea-ice at resolutions that begin to resolve ocean eddies and other narrow current systems, which transport heat and carbon in the oceans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Global surface currents 2005-2007" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the intricate movements of ocean surface currents around the world. Centered on the Indian Ocean, this computer visualization showcases the period from June 2005 to December 2007, revealing a stunning tapestry of colors that represent water temperatures. From cool blues to fiery reds, each hue signifies varying degrees of temperature in these vast bodies of water. This visual representation was created using model output from ECCO2 (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II), a joint project between MIT and JPL. By synthesizing satellite and in-situ data at high resolutions, ECCO2 enables us to observe ocean eddies and narrow current systems responsible for heat and carbon transport within our oceans. As we explore this artwork-like image, we can trace the paths of these global surface currents as they traverse across continents and seas. From Africa to Asia, Europe to Australia, their movements connect distant regions while shaping our planet's hydrological system. This print serves as a reminder of how interconnected our world truly is. It highlights not only Earth's geographical features but also its delicate environmental balance. Through cutting-edge technology like ECCO2, scientists are able to gain valuable insights into our oceans' behavior during this era marked by rapid climate change.
