Case Study: An Integrated Approach for Steering, Visualization, and Analysis of Atmospheric Simulations

Abstract

In the research described here, we have constructed at tightly coupled set of methods for monitoring, steering, an applying visual analysis to large scale simulations. a single, integrated approach. This work shows how a collaborative, interdisciplinary process that teams application and computer scientists can result in a powerful integrated approach. The integrated design allows great flexibility in the development and use of analysis tools. This work also shows that visual analysis is a necessary component for full understanding of spatially complex, time-dependent atmospheric processes.
