PyNGL: Trajectories

This PyNGL visualization shows salinity measurements obtained by free-floating buoys in the Atlantic off the South American coast. The asterisks indicate where the buoys were dropped into the ocean, while the lines show their trajectories as they drifted. The colors of the lines indicate ocean salinity, with values corresponding to the label bar at bottom.
