Mediterranean Sea
This animation represents the sea surface temperature and the sea surface salinity during 1 year (2010).On the temperature part, we can see the wind influence : when the wind blows in the south of France in the south direction, the sea surface temperature in the Gulf of Lion decreases.On the salinity part, it's interesting to visualize the decrease of the salinity on the rivers mouths (the Rhone river in France, the Po in Italy for example)Data: Mercator OceanVisit us at www.mercator-ocean.comProduction: Mira ProductionCredits : Mercator Océan/CNES/MyOceanMusic:Pix

Tropical Instability Waves
When the warm surface waters meet the cold waters surface near the equator, it creates a zone of instability called TIW for tropical instability waves.This animation represents the sea surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean during 6 monthes (June 2011 - November 2011).Data : Mercator OceanVisit us at www.mercator-ocean.comProduction : Mira ProductionCredits : Mercator Océan/CNES/MyOceanMusic : Pix

Gulf Stream
Re-discover the Gulf Stream through this animation of our modeled data. Observe the seasonal cycle with the warming of surface waters during the summer.This animation represents the sea surface temperature during 1 year (2010).Data: Mercator OceanVisit us at www.mercator-ocean.comProduction: Mira ProductionCredits : Mercator Océan/CNES/MyOceanMusic:Pix

Breath of the Ocean
Have a look to this surface temperature animation from our new hourly frequency model. This incredibely figures out two cycles : tide movement in the Atlantic Ocean and the diurnal cycle.This animation represents the sea surface temperature with a 2km grid ocean model during the two weeks (spring 2010).Data: Mercator OceanVisit us at www.mercator-ocean.comMusic:Franck Molder (NetLabel)http://www.1bit-wonder.comLicence creative commons by nc sahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/de/deed.enLicence certificationhttp://www.1bit-wonder.com

Amazon freshens up the waters
When dealing with oceans, it is important to know the quantity of salt in the water. Either modelled or observed, in situ or by satellite, salinity varies all over the globe, especially at the mouth of a river as powerful as the Amazon.Visit us at www.mercator-ocean.orgData provided by Mercator OceanAnimation produced by Mira ProductionCredits : CNES/Mercator Ocean/MyOcean

Agulhas Current
The Agulhas Current transports warm and salty waters from the east coast of Africa to the south east Atlantic Ocean. It provided beautiful eddies.This animation represents the current at 18 meters depth from the model ORCA12 during the period 2004-2006.In real time and on a global scale, on the coastline or off-shore, on the surface or in the ocean's depths, Mercator Ocean can describe, explain and forecast, while always staying one ocean ahead.Visit us at www.mercator-ocean.orgData provider : Mercator OceanProduction : Mercator Ocean (R.

Global Sea Surface Temperature Evolution
The evolution over 2 years of the global surface temperature shows important energy structures and their movements (eddies, seasonnal variability...)In real time and on a global scale, on the coastline or off-shore, on the surface or in the ocean's depths, Mercator Ocean can describe, explain and forecast, while always staying one ocean ahead.Visit us at www.mercator-ocean.orgData provider : Mercator OceanProduction : Mira productionCredits : CNES/Mercator Ocean/MyOcean
