Eddy detection is a state of the art tool to examine transport behavior in oceans, as they form circular movements that are highly involved in transferring mass in an ocean. To achieve this, ocean simulations are run multiple times, and an eddy detection is performed in the final simulation results. Unfortunately, this process is affected by a variety of uncertainties. In this manuscript, we aim to identify the types of uncertainty inherent in ocean simulations. For each of the identified uncertainties, we provide a quantification approach. Based on the quantified uncertainties, we provide a visualization approach that consists of domain embedded views and an uncertainty space view connected via interaction. We showed the effectiveness of our approach by performed a case study of the Red Sea.
