Ocean Surface Currents Basin Maps |
Maps: Topography/Bathymetry, Historical Ship Drift, Satellite-Derived Currents (OSCAR), and Drifting Buoy maps. |
Maps are plotted in a Mercator projection and the (sub-)polar regions are not to scale and are expanded in longitude.
Clicking on a thumbnail image loads a larger image, clicking on the figure caption loads that basins map page.
