Roy He and Ben Johnson presented a seminar on ocean forecasting with OOMG’s CNAPS model at NCSU’s Hunt Library on October 14, 2016. In the Coffee and Viz seminar series, researchers use the Teaching and Visualization Lab’s 270 degrees of screen to envelop the audience with dynamic images of state-of-the-art research. Roy explained the steps involved in creating a model and how models aid in forecasting ocean conditions, much like a weather forecast. Ben described methods for preparing concise, understandable graphics, demonstrating with CNAPS model output.
