This movie shows seasonal variations of 3-D temperature, which is simulated using ROMS model in the North Pacific for 2010. We utilized Probe, DVR (Direct Volume Rendering) functions and Image technique of VAPOR for this visualization. 3-D ocean temperature is expressed using DVR, which clearly shows that the North and South Equatorial Currents are meandering and propagating from east to west. We captured cross section along the equator using Probe technique in order to examine thermocline and mixed layer changes in equator vicinity. We expressed the section in the front side using Image technique. Now we can examine the seasonal variations of ocean temperature horizontally and vertically. We added land image to express realistic topography.
