SCCOOS

Overview

The SIO Visualization Center is producing visualizations for the Southern California Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), an organization that aims to synthesize its observations into products that will provide a scientific basis for evaluating and improving management and guardianship of, and response to the ocean environment and its resources. The SIO VizCenter contributes high resolution interactive 3D visualizations of Southern California's coastal region and modelling of various sensors in use by SCCOOS.


Projects

Huntington Beach 2006

SCCOOS is undertaking a study of the Huntington Beach region by deploying a variety of sensors in the area. The SIO Visualization Center has produced an interactive scene file that combines bathymetry, aerial photography and 3D models of the instruments and animations that show the operation of the instruments.
