Abstract :
The diversity of flow visualization applications precludes any single solution to all problems and instead requires individual tools for specific purposes. The AGP (Acoustic monitoring of Global ocean climate Program) visualization system handles global-scale ocean models, where the most important goal is to gain an overview and general understanding of flow. Flow visualizations of a Pacific Ocean model for studying global warming have benefited from a “color wheel” technique. The color wheel has proved valuable in this context, and its applicability to hydrodynamic, meteorological and aerodynamic data sets is under investigation
