At a depth of 850 meters near the coast of Antarctica (140 - 130° W longitude), previously undiscovered eddies become apparent in a new visualization of a global ocean simulation run on the Pleiades supercomputer. Relative salinity is shown in grayscale, with the darker areas showing slightly lower salt concentrations. At bottom, the continental shelf is shown in red, and the ice-covered land is shown in white. The video is running at 6 days of simulation time per second. David Ellsworth, NASA Ames
