I feel this updated plot for the MITgcm.jl paper (JOSS) came out nicely 😀

Bottom Left : climatological mean view of the global ocean conveyor belt produced in Climatology.jl
Bottom right : particle tracking of seawater pathways along the Gulf Stream, computed in three dimensions by IndividualDisplacements.jl .Top Right : temperature fronts in a global MITgcm simulation, which ran on a 4km resolution grid, diagnozed and visualized in Julia using MeshArrays.jl
