Abstract
In a forecasting system for the Great Lakes, the data generated by the three-dimensional numerical model is visualized by a 3D/stereoscopic display module. The module consists of a control panel and a display window with the capability of interactively rendering the results. The event scheduling for scenario testing to steer the 3D numerical model is achieved by a similar panel. These panels set up the simulation and control the data flow between the graphics workstation and supercomputer. Many rendering methods, stereo imagery and animation are incorporated to display the results. Interaction between the user, the workstation and the supercomputer allows steering of the simulation and tracing of the simulation output. Distributed software for post-processing and volume rendering are also used to enhance the representation. Further enhancement will provide operational predictions of Great Lakes physics and transport features with these visualization methods and control algorithms.Keywords
