Abstract
This paper presents an approach to help speed up and unify
the exploration and analysis of time-dependent, volumetric
data sets by easily incorporating new qualitative and quan-
titative information into an exploratory virtual environment
(VE). The new information is incorporated through one or
more expedited offline "reprocessing" steps, which compute
properties of objects extracted from the data. These ob-
jects and their properties are displayed in the exploratory
VE. A case study involving atmospheric data is presented
to demonstrate the utility of the method.

This video depicts a the use of a slicing plane in the virtual
environment. In this case, total water variation (i.e. the total amount of water
at each grid point minus the average for that height) is shown.
The thermals driving the cloud are seen moving along the bottom of the plane,
and a build up in the amount of total water underneath the cloud layer
precedes the "pulses" driving the clouds. |
