Sea Surface Height and Temperature Anomalies on a Globe: Zoom and Rotate
The 1997-98 El Niño was truly a global event. The sequence shows a superposition of sea surface temperature anomalies on anomalies of the sea surface elevation.
An animation of sea surface temperature and height anomalies on a rotating globe from January 1997 to November 1998. This animation zooms to the Pacific, then rotates to the Indian Ocean and ends on the Atlantic Ocean.
Video slate image reads "SST/SSH on Sphere".
