Colin Ware is leading a multi-faceted flow Visualization Project at CCOM; It is aimed at producing both optimized static 2D images of flow patterns and highly interactive 2D and 3D flow visualization tools.
Touch the water: A museum exhibit the SeaCoast Science Center. Using a touch screen participants can learn about currents and tides in the Piscataqua. Touching the water deposits tens of thousands of particles in the flow. [With Ata Bilgili, Dartmouth]
Optimized Flow Visualization: A process of human-in-the-loop optimization generated flow visualization such as this 2D view of the wind patterns in the upper atmosphere during Hurricane Katrina. [With Peter Mitchell and John Kelley, UNH]

| SigmaView: A 3D visualizer for sigma coordinate flow models. Virtual dyepots and cutting planes can be interactively placed. | FlowVis3D: A 3D visualizer for gridded atmospheric and ocean Models. Handles nested GRIB data from NCEP hurricane forecasts. |

Global Ocean Flow Patterns: In collaboration with NOAA, Northern Lights and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, this animation of global Ocean Flow Patterns will appear in a Science on a Sphere exhibit at the Smithsonian in 2008.
