Visualization of meteorological data using an interactive flight

Abstract

Visualization offers useful tools for understanding large data sets. The visualization techniques in this work, realized in the program GeoVis, depict static as well as dynamic geoscientific data through glyphs, surfaces and animation. The flight over a virtual landscape (where multidimensional data are represented by abstract glyphs) proves to be useful for the quick exploration of coherencies as well as differences in the data compound.
