El Niño: SST and SSH Anomalies from Sept. 1996 to Sept. 1997 (Pan from Front to Side View)

Visualizations by Greg Shirah Released on September 8, 1997

Sea surface height anomaly is presented as topography and sea surface temperature anomaly as color. A similar visualization (animation 139) presents this same data without the pan from the front to the side.

NCEP sea surface temperature anomaly and TOPEX-Poseidon altimeter sea level anomaly in the Pacific from September 1996 to September 1997. This animation pans from the front to the side view.
