Animation of ocean surface current speed over the period January 2020 to December 2021 based on the OSCAR (Ocean Surface Current Analysis Real-time) Level 4, quarter degree grid with a 1 day resolution dataset from Earth & Space Research (ESR). Please note that the missing data are represented by the gray color. OSCAR ocean mixed layer velocities are provided at three quality levels: Final, Interim and Near Real Time with a respective latency of each of approximately 1 year, 1 month, and 2 days. The datasets can be accessed from the PO.DAAC Portal at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/OSCAR_L4_OC_FINAL_V2.0 (DOI:10.5067/OSCAR-25F20) for the Final collection, at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/OSCAR_L4_OC_INTERIM_V2.0 (DOI:10.5067/OSCAR-25I20) for the Interim collection, and at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/OSCAR_L4_OC_NRT_V2.0 (DOI:10.5067/OSCAR-25N20) for the Near Real Time collection.
