This paper is from the recent Vis06 conference proceedings. The paper discusses visualization of radar data for assessing the performance of weather forecasting models. Also, they discuss ways to visualize the affect of dry air influx.

From the recent Vis06 conference proceedings. The parallel coordinates techniques will be directly applicable to the weather visualization I am coding for my Information Visualization course project. I am particularly interested in the binning method described in the paper because it might give me better rendering performance.

I do not have time to summarize these papers but I wanted to post them anyway (it may be a while before things settle down). All are related to parallel coordinates. Some are new some are old (classics).

I plan to explore the extended parallel coordinates techniques in this paper to the NOAA best-track dataset soon.

The NDFD is a gridded database of weather forecast information for the U.S. The data can be downloaded from the website for specific regions or nationally. This repository is a very promising source of information for my InfoVis class and/or research topic.
Have you ever noticed that most databases that are created by a government agency have the word digital embedded in the title?

The Visual Color Picker is a great little freeware tool that lets you pick pixels (or patches of pixels) from your desktop and it gives the RGB (or HSV, CYMK) values for a location. It also has some nice capabilities to manipulate the color once you select a pixel. I recently used this tool to determine the color scale for the NWS NEXRAD RADAR website.

This website is a multivariate data source for a visualization of temporal weather observations. The page lists a 2-day history of weather observations (pressure, dewpoint, temperature, etc.) for Columbus AFB.

I am changing my visualization software from Java to C++ to increase performance. Using C++ with Qt and OpenGL for UI and graphics seems like the best option now and I already know it (somewhat). For now I will work a few examples out in the tutorial. I may switch from C++ to Python in the future (PyQt) but for now I will stick with C++.
