Google Ocean 3-D Visualizations of World's Marine Ecosystems
Google Maps and Google Earth are morphing into visualization tools for marine data, called, oddly enough, Google Ocean. Google Maps (GM) on the web and Google Earth (GE) as a 3D interactive atlas software application are ideal tools for sharing geographical information in a simple way. Google Ocean is rumored to contain 3D oceanographic maps with underwater
topography, search features for spots and attractions, and also have
zooming and panning features. Much like Google Earth and Sky, you will
be able to overlay layers on top of the oceanographic maps, such as
weather patterns, currents, temperatures, shipwrecks, coral reefs, worldwide tide predictions, weather, magnetic declination and
algae blooms.
