Description:
This project will improve the capabilities for spatial and temporal integration of disparate (e.g., cross-media, multiscale, multisource) data within visualization and analysis tools and will provide a framework to merge and extend GIS and visualization capabilities. It will also investigate data structures for adaptive gridding, and provide a framework to build improved capabilities for dynamic exploration of large, distributed data archives. These capabilities will be tested through two specific applications: visualization and analysis of multisource data from the SOS Nashville Field Measurement Study, and visualization and validation of the multiple resolution output from the Plume-in-Grid emission/dispersion model. Delivered results will include interoperable software components for improved integration of disparate data within standalone and distributed Problem-Solving Environments, as well as specific tools to meet the needs of the two testbed projects.Supplemental Keywords:
