HIGH PERFORMANCE VISUALIZATION CENTER INITIATIVE--WEB PAGE DELIVERY OF OPERATIONAL MODELING.Marine and Atmospheric Sciences HIGH PERFORMANCE VISUALIZATION Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all CENTER INITIATIVE-WEB PAGE DELIVERY OF OPERATIONAL MODELING Paul J. Croft CROFT, obsolete. A little close adjoining to a dwelling-house, and enclosed for pasture or arable, or any particular use. Jacob's Law Dict. , Rafael E.

Fitzpatrick, Jackson State University Jackson State University, often abridged as Jackson State or by its initials JSU is a historically black university located in Jackson, Mississippi founded in 1877. , Jackson, MS 39217 As a part of the High Performance Visualization Center Initiative (HPVCI), the Jackson State University Meteorology meteorology, branch of science that deals with the atmosphere of a planet, particularly that of the earth, the most important application of which is the analysis and prediction of weather. Program (JSUMP) has developed three websites (http://www.angelfire.com/ms2/hpvci/index.html; http://weather.jsums.edu; and http://betsy.jsums.edu/[sim]hafner/oper5.html) to deliver operational models (5th Generation Mesoscale Model, MM5; and Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System, COAMPS COAMPS Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System ), their products, and datasets. Given the nature of mesoscale modeling and finer resolution of meteorological me·te·or·ol·o·gy n. The science that deals with the phenomena of the atmosphere, especially weather and weather conditions. [French météorologie, from Greek variables, a two-tier approach is used based on Quasi-Geostrophic and Semi-Geostrophic/Planetary-Boundary-Layer theories. This will allow for direct applications to operational forecasting. By using MM5 and COAMPS this initiative will meet real-time operational needs including the development real-time network access sites. Visualizations are done with Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS) and Vis5D, which are interactive desktop tools that visualize all type of observations and can simulate weather events anywhere in the world. These two tools allow adaptive computation simulations, enabling users to choose only information they want to see, overlap it, and create their own products. The websites will merge as one to address the needs of users with different knowledge levels and objectives; product delivery will be adequate to each level. 3-D simulations and development of sensible weather products are underway. The final site will be beta-tested to improve products and delivery quality. Users with different academic backgrounds will be introduced to the site, asked questions about it (e.g., is it easy to use? etc.), and then asked for feedback. The final product will also be incorporated into the classrooms and distance learning sessions putting JSU JSU Jacksonville State University JSU Jackson State University (Jackson, MS, USA) JSU Jewish Student Union in the role of "clearing-house" for weather. |
