Perpetual Ocean [hd video]

I knew ocean currents were complex because of glacier runoff and rivers etc., but this.... (forgets to blink for a while)

Needs an auto replay feature :)

Really cool stuff! Did you use line integral convolution to visualize the ECCO2 currents? I am a scientist interested in genetic connectivity of marine animals in the Indo-Pacific - I would really love to see this entire time series played out for the area surrounding the Indonesian Throughflow. Too bad there aren't more technical comments for those of us who might actually use this for science!

Yes swirly swirly sea like Van Gogh's starry starry night -everything in perpetual motion including us ! Stunning way for people to see natural forces at work

Click through to the Scientific Visualization Studio. They have a lot more meat over there as well as links to the data sets and who the scientists were that collaborated on it. The Flickr posts tend to be eye candy ... but it's such stunningly awesome eye candy. ;)

All I see is a black screen - nothing displays. :-(
Hmm, to post this comment I had to create a Flickr account and THEN I could see the video. Why doesn't it tell you that in the first place?

I don't think the issue had to do with not having an account. I checked this page on another machine where I was not signed in and the video plays. Maybe a browser plugin/setting that prevents playing video/music form untrusted sites or sites that you aren't logged into?

what causes those currents and those swirls?

Could those swirls come from the inner and outer continental shelves?

Outstanding work. Honestly, how I imagined the currents moved and how they do are two completely different things. I pay the highest compliment when I say this actually changed, in a small but significant way, my view of how the world works.

Where's Australia?

Where's the North Pacific Gyre?

Basically the heat from the sun causing temperature differences.

maravilloso gracias

Excellent
