Develop a web-based interactive 3D visualization system that integrates numerical ocean model outputs and in-situ observations.

Expected Solution

• Background India's vast Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and coastline demand continuous, high-resolution monitoring of ocean state variables. INCOIS routinely generates and archives large volumes of ocean model outputs - including three-dimensional fields of temperature, salinity, current vectors,chlorophyll, etc. - as well as real-time and delayed-mode observations from autonomous instruments such as Argo profiling floats and underwater Gliders. These datasets are stored in NetCDF and ASCII/text formats and span multiple depth levels, spatial grids, and time steps.Despite the richness of this data, no integrated, web-based 3D visualization system currently exists that can simultaneously render model fields and in-situ instrument observations in a single interactive environment.

• Complex numerical ocean model outputs - which are typically inaccessible to non-specialists - can be transformed into visually intuitive, interactive 3D experiences
• This makes the tool valuable for educating school and college students about ocean dynamics, engaging the general public during awareness campaigns, and supporting policymakers in understanding...
• INCOIS can use the system for outreach events, exhibitions, and e-learning initiatives, bridging the gap between cutting-edge ocean science and the common person
