Advances in Earth and Space Science Visualization: Tools, Challenges, and Opportunities

Join the Earth and Space Science Informatics Visualization session led by Michael Wiltberger from NCAR/HAO. This interactive conference emphasizes active audience participation and encourages presenters to share their biographical backgrounds. Discussion will focus on current 3D and 2D visualization tools like CISM-DX, OpenDX, Paraview, and commercial software such as Tecplot. We will explore challenges posed by large datasets and the need for innovative approaches in space physics visualization. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and clarify terms throughout the session.

  1. Earth and Space Science InformaticsVisualization Session Overview M. Wiltberger NCAR/HAO

  2. Overview • Striving for an active conference • Want Audience participation • Presenters should give biographical information • Michael Wiltberger – NCAR/HAO • Magnetospheric physics background • Developed CISM-DX Visualization package for space physics • Private Pilot License • Wide range of interest so avoid jargon • Call out when you here a term or acronym you don’t understand • Schedule is a guide not ridged metric • Speakers will not be penalized for discussion that occurs

  3. What 3D Viz tools are being used? • Developed CISM-DX • Based upon OpenDX visualization engine • Adds tools for common space physics manipulations • OpenDX support is diminishing • Open Source Alternatives • Paraview and Visit • Strong support DOE • Commercial Packages • Tecplot

  4. What 2D Viz Tools are being used? • Broad utilization of IDL and Matlab • Expensive to license • Add on packages for space physics – SolarSoft • Growing utilization of SciPy and pylab • SpacePy is being developed to provide access to common tools like superposed epoch analysis and field line tracing

  5. Challenges and Opportunities • Large data sets from models are going to require a shift away from the compute, move, analyze paradigm • Flip the 80/20 problem to allow students to begin working real problems sooner rather than later • Others?
