In the “surface points in time” visualization, the vertical axis represents the distribution in time, not the actual three-dimensional physical location or depth. Each point still has an x, y horizontal location, but the plotted vertical extent encodes elapsed time, as illustrated by lengths corresponding to 250 days and around 500 days.
Conditions: The visualization is the left panel labeled “surface points in time”.; The data represents groundwater measurements over time.
