Isopleth Map





This 3-Dimensional numerical model addresses the circulation and plume development from a line segment source of magma events at the sea floor, which can quickly and suddenly release heat to the ocean. The line contours are vertical velocity isopleths in m/s showing thermal anomalies, vectors are caused by the Earth's rotation. The isopleth map generalizes and simplifies data with a continuous distribution and illustrates it as a third dimension within a map. Isopleths can also be used for mapping surface elevation, precipitation, atmospheric air pressure or any other measurements that can be viewed statistically in a third dimension.
