Visualization of Oceanic Simulation Data in Google Earth

Abstract

We present a framework for visualizing numerical results derived from oceanic models. The Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) file format used allows for rapid reading of simulation data as well as internal storage of said data in an architecture-independent fashion. Our development focuses on leveraging the Google Earth framework by extending its available API to project additional layers of graphics generated by post-processing of numerical data. Google Earth Markup (KML) files are produced allowing for portable and robust viewing of visualizations using the Google Earth interface.
