Bringing new functionality to data visualization using Google Earth
This image shows preliminary comparisons of WRF-CHEM model outputs
to station measurements of O3 near Mexico City, Mexico.
This image allows a researcher or student to visually compare
concentrations of a pollutant to the values produced by a model,
and to track this comparison over time. Metadata that describes
the station measurement and other station information can be
accessed by clicking on the station marker. This visualization
technique is significant because it easily allows visual comparisons
of scientific datasets to be made in a rich geographic context.
