SST/NDVI anomalies

Visualizations from Sietse Los' SST/NDVI anomaly dataset

May 2001

A GSFC press release about this dataset describes it in more detail.

Still for press release showing two months from the time series, large tiff (1760x1680, 8.9MB)




Three quicktime movies of the dataset.

This movie has the original color scale Sietse used, these colors show variations in the data better but are less intuitive (at least for non-scientists.)

I modified the colors for the version of the dataset we use in E-Theater.

The HDTV version. The main change was to switch the background to a darker color and darken the reds and blues in the sst color scale so they showed up better on a plasma display. The HDTV frames were rendered out at 720p 60fps.
