Oceanic Circulation Visualizations

Ocean Surface Speed

image A three-dimensional ocean circulation model has been used for studying both the ocean climate system and more idealized ocean circulations.

Surface Height (Eddies)

image Eddies have a profound effect on ocean mixing processes. Models here at GFDL have improved model resolution to resolve smaller eddies, which previous models could not do.
