Sea Surface Height and Temperature Anomalies on a Globe: Zoom and Rotate

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 zooms to the Pacific, then rotates to the Indian Ocean and ends on the Atlantic Ocean.
