This may look like a Van Gogh painting, but it’s actually a model of Earth’s oceans! 🌊 This NASA model, called ECCO, was made using hundreds of millions of real-world measurements from satellites, buoys, and other ocean sensors. It includes measurements of temperature, salinity, sea ice concentration, pressure, water height, and flow in the world’s oceans. Scientists use this data to study how nutrients, carbon, and heat are transported in the ocean. The model also helps scientists understand l
