[IDV #BKH-196798]: Screencast topic: 3D map from flow vectors and altimetry (sea surface high).

Estefania,

Yes, this should be possible.

Once you have your data loaded, go to the Field Selector of the Dashboard.

Select the Flow Vectors derived field. For the display type, select 3D Surface >
Vectors Over Topography.

This action will bring forth a Field Selector Dialog. Select Formulas >
Miscellaneous > Any Field, and click OK.

This action will again bring forth a Field Selector. Select the SSH field, and
click OK.

These steps should result in your flow vectors draped over the SSH field.

Also you can view the SSH field as Color-Shaded Parameter as Topography.

Let us know if you run into problems.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
