Why use 3D? 2D plots can fail to capture many subtleties present in 3D data sets Some examples follow… Why use 3D? Why use 3D? Why use 3D? “Scientific visualization, exploiting the brain’s natural pattern recognition ability, is the best means available for making sense of large, complex scientific datasets.” * * NOAA/PMEL Virtual Reality Laboratory/vrml/3DViz.html Dive tracks of an instrumented fur seal foraging north of St. Paul I., Alaska, shown with bathymetry and topography, in 2D and 3D. 3D renderings mimic the real world effectively. Vertical dives made by the foraging seal show clearly in the 3D rendering.

Model output of Bering Sea sea surface height, colored by temperature, looking eastward, with the Aleutian Islands to the south (right), and the Pribolof Islands to the north (left). The elevation of the sea surface contains both large and small-scale patterns. The 3D plot shows both large-scale and small-scale patterns very clearly.

Small-scale Large-scale High frequency spikes in the bathymetry data are obvious in the 3D plot (right) and are obscured in the 2D plot above. Calculations of bathymetry gradients to identify regions of internal tide generation would be impacted by these spikes in the bathymetry data.
