Abstract

The authors describe how their recent high resolution North Atlantic ocean circulation calculations were visualized and animated. The calculations, performed on the Cray T3D at the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center, required display technology beyond today´s limited resolution screens. The authors describe how they post-process the calculation datasets, the hardware required, and how interactive smooth-motion animation is achieved at full model resolution
