SUMMARY:Arctic Ocean-Sea Ice Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Greg Foss (University of Texas, Texas Advanced Computing Cente
 r); An Nguyen, Arash Bigdeli, and Victor Ocaña (University of Texas, Insti
 tute for Computational Engineering and Sciences); Briana Bradshaw (Univers
 ity of Texas, Texas Advanced Computing Center); and Patrick Heimbach (Univ
 ersity of Texas, Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences)\n\n
 The Arctic Ocean, the smallest and shallowest of the five major oceans, is
  a unique physical and ecological system. With the recent shifts in global
  climate, which are amplified in the Arctic, this system is undergoing pro
 found changes. Scientists are working to document these changes to provide
  a broad assessment of their local and global impact. The hostile environm
 ent makes comprehensive measurements challenging, calling for simulation-b
 ased science to support quantitative understanding. A critical element of 
 simulation is visualizing the complex time-evolving three-dimensional ocea
 n state. The showcased animation, created at the Texas Advanced Computing 
 Center, University of Texas at Austin (UT), visualizes results of a high-r
 esolution data-constrained numerical simulation of the circulation of the 
 Arctic Ocean. Different view angles and zooms highlight emergent features,
  key to understanding some of the Arctic Ocean’s most important processes.
 \n\nThe visualization serves as a public-outreach component of an NSF-fund
 ed project aimed at understanding and quantifying the Arctic ocean-sea ice
  mean state and its changes in response to the Earth’s recent warming. The
  research is carried out at The Institute for Computational Engineering an
 d Sciences, the Institute for Geophysics, and the Jackson School of Geosci
 ences, UT. This paper describes briefly the science behind the simulation,
  the HPC requirements for running the high-resolution model simulation, an
 d the iterative and evolving process of creating the animation. The animat
 ion is currently being shown at the exhibition “Exploring the Arctic Ocean
 ”, which runs at the UT Visual Arts Center in Austin through the fall 2018
  semester.\n\nTag: Visualization\n\nRegistration Category: Tech Program Re
