A snapshot of ocean surface velocity intensity in the Indian and Pacific oceans on 31 December 2013, estimated from the global Map of Absolute Dynamic Topography derived from satellite altimetry. Stronger currents are indicated by lighter colors, with white representing about 0.75 meter per second. Participants at a workshop earlier this year outlined several specific actions necessary to improve our understanding of how ocean eddies affect the atmosphere and vice versa.
