When the buoys above water, the lines are brighter; when the buoys are under water, the lines are fainter. The ARGO buoys measure ocean salinity, column temperature, and current velocities. This version of the visualization uses a faster camera move than version #1 (animation 3204).    Animation showing locations of the ARGO buoy array Duration: 1.1 minutes Available formats:   320x240 (30 fps) MPEG-1   9 MB   640x480 (30 fps) MPEG-1   36 MB   720x480 (29.97 fps) MPEG-2   58 MB   320x240     JPEG         26 KB   720x486 (30 fps) Frames How to play our movies    ARGO buoys over the western Pacific Available formats:   2560 x 1920     TIFF 6 MB   320 x 240         JPEG 58 KB   80 x 40             PNG   6 KB   160 x 80           PNG 24 KB Animation Number: 3205 Animator: Greg Shirah (SVS) (Lead) Completed: 2005-06-02 Scientist: Josh Willis (NASA/JPL CalTech) Writer: Michael Starobin (HTSI) Instrument: Argo Buoy Data set: Argo Buoy Positions Data Collected: 2002/07/15 to 2005/04/30 Series: Sea Level NSU Keywords: GCMD >> EARTH SCIENCE >> Oceans >> Ocean Circulation GCMD >> EARTH SCIENCE >> Oceans >> Ocean Temperature GCMD >> EARTH SCIENCE >> Oceans >> Salinity/Density More Information on this topic available at: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/environment/sealevel_feature.html     Please give credit for this item to NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio Back to Top + Privacy Policy and Important Notices + Reproduction Guidelines NASA Official: SVS Contact: Curator:
