Route diagram
- Please choose one of following destinations at the Central Hub near the landing point;
Green: Marine Life & Human in the Sea
Blue: Journey into the Deep
Pink: Observation and Simulation
Orange: Sunken City and Fantasy Zone

- In each tour, please follow "next destination" arrows of theme color. You can return to the Central Hub by click the Central Hub sign.
- You can get notecards by touch small Earth at each exhibits, although each instructions are not enough yet.
- You can hear sound of the surf, voices of whales, sea birds, etc. If you put on streaming music, you can enjoy BGM. You can select channels at the Undersea Bar.
- We recommend you too reduce Fog Density Exponent of Advanced Water Editor in underwater (World > Environment settings > Environment Editor > click "Advanced Water")

Earth Simulator (ES2, (C)JAMSTEC, slurl)

NEC's Vector Parallel Supercomputer. Although ES2's Top500 ranking is 37 (June 2010), ES2 is still the world fastest computer for Ocean-Atomospher Coupled Model. In fact, US research center NCAR run their climate model on ES and provided the results to IPCC (see For better understanding of the Global Warming)
