Detailed Description This item consists of ONLY ONE of the two imperforated stamps as shown in the picture, not all two stamps. I will send out any one stamp based on availability. If you want to specify any particular stamp, please check with me before you bid the item or place the order.In 2014, the U.S. Postal Service® introduces Global: Sea Surface Temperatures, a new Forever® international rate stamp.This round stamp features a visual representation of our planet’s sea surface temperatures. It shows the Earth with North America at the center and parts of South America, Asia, and Europe just visible on the edges, surrounded by vivid bands of color throughout the oceans. The image is one frame in a 1,460-frame animation created from the output of a computer model of Earth’s climate by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. The full animation shows how the surface temperatures of the oceans vary seasonally and change over time, and how surface ocean currents and eddies transport heat and water around the globe.This image also combines the depiction of sea-surface temperatures with visible vegetation on the land masses, an element derived from a satellite composite created by NASA. Text repeated twice around the circumference of the stamp reads “GLOBAL USA FOREVER 2014.”Art director William J. Gicker designed this stamp.
