We just added 12 new datasets to SOS and SOS Explorer that are based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's "Shared Socioeconomic Pathways" (SSP). Each SSP details a different potential future path we could take. In this dataset, we show the projected change in surface air temperature under the SSP2 scenario, which is an intermediate greenhouse gas emissions scenario where carbon dioxide emissions continue around current levels until 2050, then decrease but do not reach net zero by 2

The surface of the Earth is a mosaic of tectonic plates that move. New sea floor is created in areas where the plates pull apart, allowing new crustal material to be formed from the molten magma below the Earth's surface. In this dataset, red is young sea floor and purple is old sea floor (280 million years old). Read more here: https://sos.noaa.gov/Datasets/dataset.php?id=119 | NOAA Science On a Sphere

On this day in 1960, the largest earthquake ever recorded by instruments struck southern Chile with a magnitude we now know to be at least 9.5. This earthquake generated a tsunami that traveled through every ocean on earth, though large, dangerous waves only impacted the coastlines around the Pacific Ocean. This visualization from the US NWS Pacific Tsunami Warning Center shows the tsunami wave propagating across the Pacific Ocean. Read more here: https://sos.noaa.gov/datasets/tsunami-historical

This simulation captures the complexity and scale of the vast array of instruments used in comprehensive temperature analysis. While some temperature and climatology data are sourced from satellites, many additional measurements come from a network of land-based stations, ocean buoys, and instruments mounted on ships. These varied data sources are essential for accurately representing the intricate dynamics of Earth’s climate system. This dataset was developed by NASA's Scientific Visualization

The ocean is constantly on the move! The surface ocean currents, which are primarily driven by wind, are colorized based on their temperature. The distribution of solar energy from the equators to the poles also contributes to the currents, with the oceans responsible for 40% of the global heat transport!
