Oceanographic Data Visualized with MATLAB

The data is three velocity and density sections (A, D, and E) showing tidal flow over an underwater sill in a fjord. The colors represent landward velocity (towards the viewer); red with the tide, blue against. Three density contours are shown by black lines. The line at the bottom of the sill (Line E) shows two recirculations produced by the flow.
