Exploration of a Large Eddy Simulation Data Set

In this example, using a numerical simulation of the West Florida Shelf, the student can view the model domain and then proceed to explore the three-dimensional volume in a variety of ways.

This image shows 6 different output variables from the LES model. The model domain is 128 m x 128 m x 53 m deep. The model is nonhydrostatic and explicitly calculates the three-dimensional eddy field spectrally down through the inertial subrange before using sub-grid parameterization. Thus, it is a complete and statistically realistic solution of the primitive equations.
