Applications of Scientific Visualization to Meteorological Data Analysis and Animation

  • Conference paper
Computer Animation ’90

Abstract

Multi-variate data analysis and scientific visualization techniques available on a supercomputer-workstation environment were applied for producing animations of meteorological parameters. Through experimenting, animations of individual and combined parameters were used to investigate evolutions of winter cyclone systems. The results indicate an animation with combined parameters reveals important cyclonic development mechanisms which could not have been seen by an animation with individual parameter.
