Data Extraction Constituents
The form of Data Extraction assists users in defining the location of the profile and the parameters to be displayed in 2DV View as shown in 2218950657. From the Primary Group it is possible to select Model Grid, Velocities, Water Column, and others. The number of groups varies and depends on the modules simulated in the model. Once selecting a group for the Primary Group completed, a list of parameters for the selected group is displayed in the Parameter.

The Profile Definition frame needs to be set before a profile can be extracted from EFDC. There are three options shown in 2218950657. It is possible to select a value of I to extract the active J cells along that I, or select a value of J to extract the active I cells along that J. The third option is to use a "Drape Line", which is a polyline in the same coordinate system as the LX, LY data. The I & J's along this line will be assembled, and the profile will be output along with that slice. If an I or J extraction is used, the user can scroll up and down the select a coordinate.
The Define Parameter to Plot frame requires selecting which parameters will be displayed. First, it is necessary to select the Primary Group, then select the Parameter from that group is available to choose. It is required to click the left arrow button to confirm the selection. It is possible to select more than one parameter for the plot.
The parameters selected are displayed in the Parameters to Plot frame, where the user can also remove the parameter by using the right arrow button. The user can save the current 2DV layout by clicking the Save button or load an external 2DV layout by selecting the Load button. The Up and Down buttons will change the order of the parameter in the displayed plot.
The Update button will replace the currently highlighted parameters in the Parameters to Plot frame with the currently selected parameters in Define Parameter to Plot frame.
The Properties button will open the 2DV View Properties form where the user can configure the color ramp, contour, precision, range, and other settings (2218950657).
2218950657 and 2218950657 is a 2DV View example for selecting the temperature of the I = 38 at a specific time.

Data Extraction of EFDC Arrays
A new option for 2DV View has been developed to the EEMS11.3 version. It allows to view 2DV plot of parameters of EFDC arrays. To select EFDC Array's parameters are similar to other parameters described above. Select EFDC Arrays for the Primary Group, and then select a parameter from the drop-down list as shown in 2218950657. The meaning of these parameters is described in 2218950657 below. An example of 2DV View for vertical eddy viscosity is shown in 2218950657.

The general purpose and guidance to add new masks to grid cells are explained in 2DH View – Grid Masks. In this section, the steps to visualize partial masks in 2DV View will be outlined.
Click on the New 2DV View button. In the Data Extraction for 2DV View window (Figure 1), select the profile to display. The Use Drape File allows users to import a Polygon/Polyline Files and view 2DV profile across a specified polyline. Use I and Use J will display a 2DV profile along an I-indexed or J-indexed cross-section.
Users need to define the parameter(s) to plot. To plot partial masks, set the Primary Group as Model Grid and the Parameter as Masks. Left-click on the arrow button to add Masks and click OK.

The 2DV mask plot for the cross-section at I = 19 and initial time for this example case is then displayed as in Figure 2.
