THE JACKSON STATE UNIVERSITY METEOROLOGY PROGRAM AND THE HIGH PERFORMANCE VIZUALIZATION CENTER INITIATIVE.Marine and Atmospheric Sciences THE 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. 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 AND THE HIGH PERFORMANCE VIZUALIZATION CENTER INITIATIVE Paul J. [Croft.sup.*], Patrick J. Fitzpatrick, and R. Suseela Reddy, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39217 The Jackson State University (JSU JSU Jacksonville State University JSU Jackson State University (Jackson, MS, USA) JSU Jewish Student Union ) Meteorology Program, in concert with the School of Science and Technology The School of Science and Technology is a magnet program within Merlo Station High School in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. History The program started as a Certificate of Initial Mastery/Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CIM/CAM) program called the school of Natural , has embarked on the High Performance Visualization Center Initiative (HPVCI) and will serve as the Clearinghouse for 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 Operational Visualization for Environmental Information Transfer (MOVE-IT) with scientific visualization. This project is a joint effort by JSU and the Department of Defense and of particular interest to the Navy. The Clearinghouse is being designed to sup port activities to diagnose the dynamics of Gulf Coast States weather phenomena and provide real-time operational products through high caliber visualizations in the coastal zone. The Clearinghouse will provide for technical transfer of these results and applications to the user community and others. A synthesis of weather forecast products which meet real-time operational user needs will include viable "consumer products" and visualizations (using Vis-5D and GRADS GRADS Grid Analysis and Display System GRADS Graduation Reality and Dual-Role Skills GRADS Ground Radar Aerial Delivery System (airdrop method) GRADS Gravity Automated Data System GRADS Global Routing for Academic Data Solutions ) that are freely available for use and that allow adaptive computations by individual users (military or otherwise). Computer visualization for the analysis of data and results, and their presentation and use in the classroom, will be web-based and portable. Visualization products will be available to the broader atmospheric and minority communities and be useful in terms of research, education, and training activities, particularly in electronic classrooms and through distance learning. |
