Blue Currents

This is a computer animation of ocean surface currents based on satellite observations.

Apart from being pretty, it shows how heat is transported across the planet  (influencing the local climats) and where CO2 is likely to be diluted and stocked. It also helps to track polluted waters.

The current lines remind me of the way Van Gogh sometimes painted clouds:
