Weddell Sea Animation at 1/10 deg resolution |
Weddell Sea Animation at 1 deg resolution |
There are other nice animations here too:
Southern Ocean current speed in color (25cm/s=red) with sea ice extent in white for monthly output. Runs for 5 years. High-resolution animation.
Weddell Sea (like above) but with SST colorized. High-resolution animation.
Okhotsk Sea ice with SST colorized. High-resolution animation.

Cecilia Bitz made these animations from integrations made by the PetaApps Modeling Team. The original members of the PetaApps team are supported by the NSF Office of Cyberinfrastructures. They have since adopted several members, including Cecilia.
Computing was done on Kraken at the National Institute for Computational Science through a computing grant on the TeraGrid (now called XSEDE), which is also funded by NSF.
