Sentences with phrase «ocean surface topography»

This satellite image of Pacific Ocean sea surface heights taken by the NASA / European Ocean Surface Topography Mission / Jason -2 oceanography satellite, captured on June 11, 2010, shows that the tropical Pacific has switched from warm (red) to cold (blue) during the last few months, perhaps foreshadowing a transition from El Niño, to La Niña conditions.
