Abstract
HabitatSpace—to visualize/analyze climate change effects in 3-D
Track: Atmosphere, Climate, and Weather
Author
Societal impacts consider the possible impacts of climate change on human societies. While these are critical, non-human organisms are also affected by climate change. This talk describes tools created to delineate oceanic habitats - especially pelagic habitats - in support of ecosystem-based management and marine spatial planning. These tools can be used to explore the impacts of climate change on marine organisms and ecosystems.
HabitatSpace provides analysis and visualization in a GIS-based tool that uses UCAR's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) for volumetric visualizations. While visualization tools provide appealing pictures of complicated data, they can also be coupled with geographic information systems to provide advanced analyses. New tools for the representation of multidimensional data allow user to visualize and interact with datasets such as three-dimensional output from particle tracking models. These tools can also be used to analyze conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) data, which is the oceanographic analog to atmospheric sounding data.
