Chlorophyll from glider and remote sensing
This example shows a combination of SeaWiFS satellite-derived chlorophyll data and in-water fluorescence measurements from Seaglider within a cyclonic eddy that formed off the coast of Washington State, USA in September and October 2004. Seaglider provides florescence data points that are collected in a "yo-yo" pattern in the water column. In Eonfusion a regular grid of points is created in depth and time to create the vertical surface / curtain and the position and fluorescence data is interpolated onto the curtain for better visualisation. The glider data can be viewed and queried at the same time (as points) providing immediate access to the original data. This shows Eonfusion's ability to easily merge data from disparate platforms - in this case visualizing how optical patterns evolve with time.
Fluorescence data kindly provided by the NOPP and NSF Seaglider projects. SeaWiFS chlorophyll data obtained from NASA's Ocean Color WEB. Myriax also gratefully acknowledges Brandon Sackmann.
