A 3D visualization of Earth focusing on the Northern Hemisphere, showing ocean currents in the North Atlantic. Currents are represented by colors, with a color scale on the right indicating velocity magnitude in meters per second (m/s), ranging from 0 to 2.4. Light blue to purple hues represent faster currents, while lighter blue tones indicate slower ones. Continents are shown in gray, while oceans feature a textured surface visualizing current patterns. The image highlights complex ocean circulation, particularly strong currents along the coasts of North America and Europe.
