Earth's ocean currents 🌊 # This data visualization is showing how the ocean moves water across the planet using data from NASA’s ECCO model, or Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean. The model pulls data from spacecraft, buoys, and more. Researchers rely on the model output to study ocean dynamics and to track conditions that are crucial for ecosystems and weather patterns.

This is a visualization of Ocean Currents around the World This is a visualization of ocean currents around the world. NASA’s ocean model, Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO)), is used to visualize the currents. The ECCO ocean circulation model incorporates observations from spacecraft, buoys, and other in situ measurements to keep the model accurate. ECCO is a joint project between NASA/JPL and MIT. The model output used here is from ECCO-2 and covers the years 2021-2023.
