Title:
Visualization of river plumes in coastal seas using satellite observations and land-sea simulations
Abstract:
River plumes spreading from estuaries can determine the water quality and circulation in coastal oceans and can transport land-derived nutrients to the ocean, leading to the primary production in ocean ecosystems. This paper addresses the visualizations of the river plume dynamics using spatiotemporally high-resolution sea surface salinity (SSS) maps in coastal oceans produced by land-ocean integrated simulations and ocean color images derived by the world’s first geostationary satellite ocean color observations. For example, we successfully described the dynamics of the river plumes; the plume with the low-salinity water was largely extended into the bay in periods of pre- and post-typhoon. Further, we can validate the simulated results of the river plumes produced by a state-of-the-art, land-sea coupled simulations, using the high-resolution, satellite-derived SSS data. In contrast to the conventional analyses, high-resolution, datasets of SSS and its visualization can provide better understanding of the plume dynamics.

Title:
How to make your own pre- and post-processors using ADVENTURE AutoGL?
Abstract:
ADVENTURE AutoGL (pronounced as ‘O-te-ga-lu’) is a graphics and GUI library, dedicated for simulation-based research and development. It is designed for the simulation users to develop their own data viewers and editors. Currently, the library is used among many researchers and simulation users, mainly in universities and national research centers. Its functionalities and supported platforms are explained. AutoGL applications of various kinds of simulation methods are demonstrated also.
