Our Computational Visualization Center, has collabrated with Earth Simulator Center(Dr. Tetsuya Sato), Yokohama, Japan for extremely large dataset (22GB). Their transient oceanographic dataset consists of 5 variables: temperature, salinity, U, V, W (velocity) and 4 timesteps spread over 3days. Our enhanced software is applied to a range of oceanographic datasets received from the Earth Simulator Center, and several graphics and movies are summarized on our project webpage for the Earth Simulator Project.
