Abstract
Many subsystems of Earth are constantly monitored in space and time and undergo continuous anthropogenic interventions. However, research into this transformation remains largely inaccessible to the public due to the complexity of the Big Data generated by models and Earth observation. To overcome this barrier, we present the Leipzig Explorer of Earth Data Cubes (lexcube.org), an interactive Earth data visualization that allows users to explore terabyte-scale datasets with minimal latency through space, time, variables, and model variants. With over 2800 users and 163,000 API requests since its public release in May 2022, lexcube.org is a novel interactive data cube visualization that embraces the concept of "data cubes," enabling an equal treatment of space and time. We expect this development to be particularly relevant for the emerging exascale Digital Twins of Earth, as interactive visualizations in real-time could remove access barriers and help democratize Earth system sciences.
期刊介绍：
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) bridges the theory and practice of computer graphics, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI. From specific algorithms to full system implementations, CG&A offers a unique combination of peer-reviewed feature articles and informal departments. Theme issues guest edited by leading researchers in their fields track the latest developments and trends in computer-generated graphical content, while tutorials and surveys provide a broad overview of interesting and timely topics. Regular departments further explore the core areas of graphics as well as extend into topics such as usability, education, history, and opinion. Each issue, the story of our cover focuses on creative applications of the technology by an artist or designer. Published six times a year, CG&A is indispensable reading for people working at the leading edge of computer-generated graphics technology and its applications in everything from business to the arts.
