Summary: This video displays a time-lapse of global sea surface height anomalies in the Pacific Ocean from January 2022 to February 2024, highlighting dynamic ocean processes.
The animation presents a global map, primarily focused on the Pacific Ocean, showing sea surface height anomalies over a two-year period, from January 2022 to February 2024. The color scale indicates deviations from average sea levels, with deep red and orange areas representing higher-than-average sea surface height, and dark blue and green areas representing lower-than-average height. The visualization reveals complex and dynamic patterns of ocean circulation, including waves and eddies, particularly noticeable along the equatorial region. Landmasses such as North and South America, and islands like Hawaii, are shown in black. A grey line delineates the equator, providing geographical context for the observed oceanographic phenomena.
