Swell animation from ENVISAT ASAR instrument
 "Pacific swell animation")
These beautiful "fireworks" are observations of swell waves generated by storms, using the ASAR instrument (in wave mode) from the ENVISAT satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA). The detected swell wave groups are propagated forward and backward in time, using the direction information of the wave spectra, in order to follow their track and to produce these animations.
