This is the 'beauty shot version' of Perpetual Ocean 2: Western Boundary Currents. The visualization starts with a rotating globe showing ocean currents. The camera then zooms into the Kuroshio current, moves over the Indian Ocean to the Agulhas Current, then over to the Gulf Stream. The flows from the surface down to 600 meters deep are all white. Flows below 600 meters depth use the blue-cyan-white color table below.| NASA Scientific Visualization Studio
The Global Land One-kilometer Base Elevation (GLOBE) dataset is a global digital elevation model (DEM) with 30 arc-second (30") grid resolution. It was the first publicly available, high resolution DEM to cover more than two-thirds of the earth’s surface, though copyrighted or limited distribution products like NIMA predated it. GLOBE data comes from 11 sources, via 18 combinations of source/lineage processing. Scientists compiled DEMs available at griddings of 1-km or smaller, adding or m...| National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
