Sea Surface Height and Temperature Anomalies on a Globe: Rotating to the Pacific Ocean
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 rotates from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific.
Video slate image reads "SST/SSH on Sphere spinning".
