Paper Abstract:
|
Scientific experimentation related to analysis and prediction of climate changes is highly dynamic and requires various
data to be processed simultaneously, including results of statistical modeling. Small displays often do not allow scientists
to gain optimal access to these data due to the limited field of view they provide. In this project, we investigated how the
complex climate data can be visualized using a large tiled panel display (TPD). We present a prototype of the multidisplay
visualization environment developed to assist the image-based analysis carried out by the specialists from the
Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI). We discuss results of a contextual inquiry performed to identify needs and
requirements for the visualization of climate data and report on results of an empirical study aimed to validate how
willing and able domain specialists are to adopt the new visualization technology. |
