The SEAScope application

SEAScope

SEAScope is a standalone 3D visualisation and analysis application for satellite, in-situ and numerical model data. Its rendering is designed to ease the detection of synergies between several sources of observations and simulations, without the complications introduced by map projections. An optional Python package allows the viewer to be controlled remotely and data to be exchanged with a Python session or a Jupyter notebook.

SEAScope runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and is available from https://seascope.oceandatalab.com
