This visualization shows ocean surface currents around the world during the period from June 2005 through Decemeber 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 NASA/JPL's computational model called Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean, Phase II or ECCO2.. 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.

Ocean currents - like broken down small galaxies and clusters, the miracle of refraction.

Interesting. It shows  the Coriollis effect and the formation of  individual cyclones that may travel thousands of kilometers. This explains why it is so difficult to predict the weather

Being a large Antarctica nut, I as really happy at the two-minute mark when the world was flipped to reveal our frozen continent.

They should map the 2D divergence of this surface flow, which would show when a particular current submerges/emerges from below the surface.

O vídeo é muito interessante. O único defeito é não aparecerem as correntes do Brasil.
