Our planet’s vital oceanic circulation systems are undergoing dramatic and unprecedented transformations, signaling a potential shift towards a new, more dangerous climate state. This exclusive Strategic Risk Assessment goes deep into the profound implications.| Age of Transformation
Warmer, saltier water from deep in the Southern Ocean has started rising to the surface, bringing up more carbon dioxide, a recent study shows. Fresher, cooler surface waters had helped sea ice expand for more than thirty years, but the new satellite data shows this reversed a decade ago, when the| www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz
This page contains equirectangular versions of Perpetual Ocean 2's 'beauty version'.| NASA Scientific Visualization Studio
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.This visualization was produced using model output from the joint MIT/JPL project: Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II or ECCO2. ECCO2 uses the MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) to synthesize satellite and ...| NASA Scientific Visualization Studio
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
