Offshore Currents, Monterey Bay
Download MonBayMan.sim
...

The planar manifold in this Landscape File represents a vertical cross-section from the ocean surface to the ocean floor south of Monterey Bay, California. The section is perpendicular to the coast and shows hypothetical velocity contours for coast-parallel offshore currents. The light green color represents maximum southeastward velocity, while red represents maximum northwestward velocity. The boundary between green and brown colors is the zero-velocity contour. The main texture in the simulation is a color shaded-relief image that incorporates both bathymetry (shades of blue) and land topography (greens and browns). Monterey Submarine Canyon, which heads near the coast in Monterey Bay, is north of this section. The simulation includes a startup script that sets the viewer position, view center, background color, and a vertical exaggeration of 2.5 to better show the details of the velocity data in the
manifold.
