RT99 Positive Feedback

Application achieved acceptance

• Overwhelmingly positive feedback
• Several wanted software released immediately

Useful approach to investigate model output

• Great 3D visualization of the atmosphere
• Quick way to peruse LOTS of information
• Interactive 2D tools in 3D space superior
  • Well-received D3D Sounding influenced the development of a dynamic D2D sounding capability

  • Ability to dynamically move plan-views and cross- sections revealed continuity and discrepancy in parameter fields not easily seen otherwise

Combining the visualization techniques was effective

• Isosurfaces with volume visualization very informative
  • volume visualization does not work well on all machines

• Isosurfaces with plan views and cross-sections
  • further enhanced the advantages of the interactive tools to reveal different atmospheric structures
