dc.description.abstractSeveral case studies are used to explore why the adoption of visualization software, especially for the visualization of 3D timevarying ocean data, has lagged behind the development of visualization techniques. The development history of the Silver and Wang feature tracking for time-varying 3D volume data highlights the challenges of decadal scale development and support. The experiences of supporting operational use of processing and visualization for the COVIS oceanographic instrument suggest packaging and version control are far more critical than most users or developers in the ocean science community realize. Initial efforts to package feature extraction and skeletonization for a domain scientist lead to the realization that ease of configuration is critical to supporting scientific exploration, experimentation, and illustration. A consideration of the history of marching cubes focuses attention on the gap between the development of methods and the dissemination of fully mature software. These challenges can be framed succinctly as Discovery, Relevance, Adaptability for Ease of Usage, Input/Output Flexibility, Reliability, and Sustainability. The lessons learned here suggest the need for a more sustainable funding model, strong expectations for code dissemination and documentation, attention to the needs of users especially domain scientists, and greater visibility of code development efforts to end users.en_US
