This version of the
Ocean Eddies Web Viewer is not quite fully complete.
At the moment, there is currently no user-level documentation
available for this web viewer.
Caveats with this version of the viewer:
The viewer needs to download all 39 MB of tracks data during
initial startup.
In order to play the eddies data as an animation, you'll need a
network connection that 1) has enough bandwidth to download the SSH
data dynamically and 2) has a relatively low latency access link to
this site. Otherwise, you'll just have to contend with stepping
through the data one frame at a time.
There are a few missing features that would be nice to have.
Direct keyboard and mouse commands (those not accessed from GUI
controls):
Click and drag on the map to pan.
Mouse wheel to zoom.
The tab, shift+tab, space bar, and enter keys can be used to access
the GUI controls from the keyboard.
