animation of Monterey Bay: The green lobes take fluid out of the bay and
the yellow lobes bring fluid into the bay. The velocity field was obtained
via high-frequency radar measurements
made by Jeff Paduan at the Naval Postgraduate School. This data was then
processed
by Denny Kirwan and colleagues at Old Dominion University; finally, Dynamical
Systems Theory was applied by Stephen Wiggins and Chad Coulliette at Caltech.
The particular tool of Dynamical Systems Theory used here is Lobe
Dynamics, which is introduced elsewhere on this web site. Use
the button on the far left of the controller bar (beneath the animation)
to stop and start the animation; use the left and right arrow buttons
on the right side of the controller bar to move frame by frame through
the animation. Click
here see our directory of Quick Time movies.
