Sea Surface Height Visualizations

Shown are instantaneous sea surface height (shaded) and near-surface current velocities (vectors). More accurate representation of ocean eddies and transports will lead to an improvement in the ocean component of coupled ocean-atmosphere models.

See this section from a presentation given at SuperComputing '99.
