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.
