Currents




This NASA animation--titled “Perpetual Ocean”, was compiled from data produced by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Earth, Phase II (ECCO2 for short), the animation is a high-res model of global ocean and sea ice movements from June 2005 through December 2007. And it’s strangely therapeutic to watch.

  2. I makes me think of my childhood and the globe that we had in our den. It would have markings of the flow of the different currents and I would imagine floating on them around the world...
