Claim One:
1. A method for creating a vertical cross section of non-bathymetric data on a map comprising: receiving a cross section maximum depth and a cross section slice location; creating a data frame in a conventional geospatial processing computer program; accessing selected netCDF data of the non-bathymetric data from a numerical model, the selected netCDF data coinciding with a cross section slice that extends vertically from the cross section line to the cross section maximum depth; interpolating between the selected netCDF data points across the cross section slice; creating a raster pixel-by-pixel using the selected netCDF data and the interpolated data across the cross section slice; adding the raster to the data frame to create a cross section display; indicating the cross section slice location on the map; creating an X-axis and a Y-axis and adding the X-axis and Y-axis to the cross section display; adding a title to the cross section display; setting a color scheme of the raster; and creating a window to focus on the cross section slice location on the map.
