A user of the Geoweb connects to the Server using a web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. This permits searching for data files and viewing of metadata about each file. After a file of interest is located, the data can be visualized on-screen provided that a tool such as World Wind Geo, Google Earth, NASA’s World Wind, or ArcGIS Explorer are installed on the workstation. For a survey of map visualization tools for use within the EPA, see http://intranet.epa.gov/rtpgis/mapvizsvcs.html. The World Wind Geo tool is a free download from http://code.google.com/p/worldwindrcp/. Google Earth Pro is available within the EPA via Agency-wide license. See http://intranet.epa.gov/rtpgis/mapvizsvcs.html for information on obtaining the license. NASA’s World Wind is a free download from http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/. ArcGIS Explorer is a free download from http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/explorer/index.html. +

A wide variety of general-purpose visualization and analysis tools are available on the VIEWS website for exploring the data and producing graphs, charts, maps, and formatted data files. Specialized tools allow users to browse and analyze time series, visibility trends, spatial patterns, temporal aerosol profiles, chemical species composition, light extinction budgets, back trajectories, estimated natural conditions, visibility projections, glide slope plots, emissions inventories, weighted emissions potentials, and model performance evaluations. All tools have been designed with common user interface components and are being re-factored with a Service Oriented Architecture approach to allow them to function as web services. +
C
Concentration maps for the Eastern and CONUS regions are shown on the CASTNET website. Deposition trends plots, changes in meteorology, and ozone concentrations are shown for each site on the CASTNET website. Additional publications with supporting visualization and analysis are also available on the website. +
E
MIMS Analysis Engine embedded in EMF. Uses PAVE in SMOKE run scripts to generate plots during SMOKE runs. Hoped-for links to VERDI, but no specific plans. +

Public visualization is via animated GIF maps, offered on the AIRNow.Gov website. Dynamic visualization may be accomplished via the Navigator tool on AIRNowTech. In addition, AQI current conditions and forecasts are available as KML and can be used for Google Earth mashups (http://www.airnow.gov/index.cfm?action=google_earth.main). +
U
Unidata supports a suite of analysis and visualization tools (GEMPAK, McIDAS, Integrated Data Viewer) that can be employed by users for analysis and visualization. Unidata also supports middleware such as the netCDF and the THREDDS Data Server that enable users to access data from remote servers via standard protocols for analysis and display using tools other than those provided by Unidata. +
R
Yes. RSIG provides a simple and quick interactive visualization of all data overlaid together on an appropriate map. +
