Abstract
In order to show efficiently the large amount of data obtained during
the Long Term Upper Ocean Study (LOTUS), a new method of data presentation
was developed. Three data variables can be included in a simple color contour
plot, but if successive color contour plots are recorded on videotape,
a fourth variable, time, can also be shown.
This report documents the process of making a videotape presenting
scientific data in this way, from raw data to finished videotape. The videotape
shows internal wave kinetic energy versus frequency and depth; the
time variation of the videotape displays real time variation in the ratio
of 14/30 second to one week, or about l month of data every 2 seconds.
