Observational Density Animations
| Click on a thumbnail plot below for an animation that shows the effectiveness of the ocean observing system at sampling ocean surface state. In the animation the earth is divided into 5x5 degree rectangles, which are color-filled when the number of observations per week exceeds the selected threshold. |
