ALT An animated sea level data graphic of the central Pacific Ocean, dated from March 6 to April 24, 2023. Part of Australia and Asia (left) and part of North and South America (right) are shown in gray. The ocean is primarily green (normal sea level), with pink and blue "blobs" (lower sea level) and yellow, red, and white "blobs" (higher sea level) scattered in the northern and southern Pacific. The focal point is along the equator, which is noted with a black horizontal line in the middle. Most of the black line contains a strip of red and yellow throughout the animation. There is a data key at the bottom of the graphic showing sea surface height in millimeters.
