A high-resolution simulation illustrating ocean currents with vibrant colors. The warm currents are depicted in red and orange, centrally concentrated along the equator, while cooler currents appear in blue and green. Continents, including North America, South America, Africa, Eurasia, and Australia, are visible.
We’ve got a new dataset that’s hi-res and research ready: MESACLIP. Researchers used two supercomputers to create the MESACLIP dataset which features the Earth system in unprecedented detail, including snow cover and sea surface temperatures. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rBK9bg
