One of the significant problems in visualizing geophysical fields is the inability to simultaneously represent them as an integrated spatial layer, taking into account the complex nature of the parameters being analyzed. Currently, the designated visualization task is solved by decomposing the set of parameters into separate components, followed by rendering spatial layers that are not connected to each other either visually or logically. As a result, information that is important for research or decision-making is lost due to excessive overload of the geopatial image. The paper proposes an approach to visualizing multicomponent geophysical fields based on graphical primitives called tensor glyphs, which are combined into a single spatial layer to represent several components of the geophysical field. Each individual image is a superellipse, composed of ellipses distributed along the axes and scaled according to the analyzed values, whose intersection points with each other and with the axes provide reference points connected using Lamé curves. The operability and clarity of the proposed solution are examined using the parameters of the geomagnetic field as an example. Additionally, an analysis of performance metrics for its web implementation is conducted, which allows evaluating the quality of the corresponding solutions.
