This is a demonstration of various data visualizations that we have made using a combination of [Matlab|http://www.mathworks.com/], the free tools in the [OpenEarth toolbox|Tools], and the [Google Earth|http://earth.google.com] ^TM^ mapping service. To make your own, just sign up and check out the [tutorials|Matlab Tutorials] for the googleplot toolbox.

A few of the other *.kml files with which the screen shots below have been made are available in this (temporary) [open dir| http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl/kml]. Note that some of the bigger files might need a bit of time to load, just be patient.

There are more initiatives worldwide that offer [data in Google Earth|Google Earth].
