DIAL NO2 Desktop Data Explorer Prototype
LATEST VERSION AVAILABLE: Alpha 007. November 9 2007
We are looking for Alpha Testers: Send me an email (bruce at nmri.org) with your snail mail address, and we will mail you one. thanks
Goal: To gather existing NO2 data archives into a single DVD-based data explorer software product so that scientists, data providers, application developers, and decision makers can explore not only the existing data corpus (or a representative sample) but also the potential use cases for data analysis by decision makers. NOTE: this is not a final product for use by decision makers, but a prototype that helps move the conversation along among the various stakeholders in the NO2 data system.
Technology: DIAL will combine run-time IDL data analysis and visualization tools with Adobe Director GUI authoring to create the prototype application.
