Three acoustics research projects which have successfully used continuous tone color CRT display techniques will be discussed. (1) A 16‐mm movie will be show which displays the vibrational mode shape of a free‐flooded, piezoelectric cylinder transducer, as well as the nearfield pressure patterns which change as a function of time. This movie was produced for NUC by Dr. Henry Christiansen of Brigham Young University, using equipment at the University of Utah. Data was provided by NUC using mathematical models based on finite‐element methods. (2) Slides will be shown of additional three‐dimensional displays generated at NUC using a computer program, MOVIE‐NUC, which was adapted by Christiansen to run on NUC equipment. One such example is for an ambiguity surface displayed in three dimensions using color contours to enhance the intensity component. (3) An additional application to be shown will be slides of two‐dimensional displays of large ocean areas. Pacific and Atlantic Ocean bathemetry data will be displayed using color contours. Other parameters to be displayed include the amount if intrusion of the ocean bottom into the sound channel and shipping density.
