El Nino Sea Surface Temperature Model

IUE provides a demonstration of the daily changes of the sea surface temperature affected by El Nino from January of 1997 to January of 1998. Over the El Nino year the current changes directions, and warm water piles up over the cooler belt near the equator, this change in temp causes coral bleaching (death) in the south pacific. This is a time series visualization of 24 satellite format array data rasters, blended over a 12 month time span.
