Description

The blue wells and rivers which cascade through the figure represent ideal values of surface-to-deep mixing and ice melt or runoff. The tiles are members of an 8-dimensional array and are meant to evoke the viewer's intuition of a multi-dimensional surface.

The figure was created in MATLAB, and was originally created to adjust a simple model of Atlantic to modern data. For this project, the collage was created to emphasize the vastness of the ocean; the figure is much taller than it is wide. The height of each block represents 500 meters, and the height of the figure represents the Atlantic's approximate depth.  The color scheme, called Parula, is visually friendly to neurally-diverse audiences, including those with red-green color blindness.
