NASA Releases Ocean Animation for iPad App

NASA animators at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, have produced a new animation that shows the movement of the Earth's oceans' currents over a time period of more than two years - from June 2005 to December 2007. The scientific visualization captures tens of thousands of ocean surface currents.

NASA Goddard also released a 3-minute version on its NASA Visualization Explorer iPad app.

Both the 20-minute and 3-minute versions are available in high definition on its website.
