Visualization for Inverse Ocean Modeling
Velocity streamlines integrated both forward and back generated from a plane source at z=-10 and coupled with a slice of velocity magnitude at the same depth

Researchers are developing the capability to incorporate observations of the ocean and the atmosphere into computational models to adjust the operation of the computational model and to produce more accurate predictions or forecasts.
The Visualization and Interactive Spaces Lab of the Pervasive Technology Labs (PTL) at Indiana University, in conjunction with ithe Scientific Data Analysis Lab, also of PTL, is exploring techniques to visualize simulation output generated by the project, as well as creating applets that can be useful on the project's instructional web site.
The collaboration includes participants from several academic sites, including Indiana University, Oregon State University, Rutgers University, Arizona State University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The project is funded by the National Science Foundation.
