Antarctic Google Earth Datasets

The following collection of datasets can be used in Google Earth to explore the Antarctic Ocean environment before and during the cruise. Real-time datasets provide students an opportunity to gather scientific evidence, which they can use to investigate scientific processes that occur in the ocean.

Research Data

• Daily Updates
• Underwater Data from RU26d
• Active Glider Deployments
• Active Gliders and Currents
• Active Gliders with Time Slider
• Real-Time Sea Ice Concentration

Semi Real-Time Global Images
