Due to the constant increases in the complexity and amount of available hydrographic data, there is a real need to make such large data sets understandable. The Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) at the University of New Hampshire began in January 2011 to develop an experimental environment for exploratory visual analysis of ocean flow models in its Data Visualization Research Lab. Through a combination of established visualization techniques and interactive hardware, it gives domain scientists the ability to extract new insights from the results of ocean flow simulations, which have traditionally been challenging to visualize and analyze.
