Virtual Ocean integrates the GeoMapApp tool suite with the NASA World Wind 3-D earth browser to create a powerful new platform for interdisciplinary research and education.
The Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) synthesis developed by the Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS) is the primary base map for Virtual Ocean, providing access to a comprehensive multi-resolution compilation of satellite altimetry and multibeam bathymetry data. Several MGDS data sets are accessible in Virtual Ocean through live OGC-standard Web services. Options are also provided for users to import their own data sets.
Visit the Help Page for more information on how to use Virtual Ocean.
Click here to launch Virtual Ocean. After initialization, select the Virtual Ocean base map projection.
Note: For best performance, a 3D video card with up-to-date drivers is necessary and the display should be set to 32-bit true color. Virtual Ocean has been tested with ATI, NVIDIA, and Intel video cards using Windows (XP/Vista), Mac OS X (10.4/10.5), and Fedora Core (6/8) operating systems.
