| Given current weather for |
| over 500 cities, we determine |
| which locations have rain or |
| snow, and determine the |
| coordinates of these events. |
| This is animated in VRML 2.0 |
| by using the animation nodes. |

| Animation's can play images for the previous 3 days. (Can be changed). |
| Close up capabilities for all regions over the United States. |
| Interactive weather browser, which can let a user point and click to determine the current weather over any region of the continental US. |
| Capability to view text based weather for over 500 US. cities. This includes current weather, net day forecasts, extended forecasts, and average conditions/month. |
| 3D Animation of current weather, generated on-the-fly. |
Radar data can show where severe weather is, and can be animated to watch these effect move across the region.

| Beta tests of the Java code. |
| Future work on 3D Current weather data. |
| Implementation will take place in VRML 2.0. |
| Adaptive triangulation will be used to generate the terrain over small pieces of each state, which will then be "pieced together" through Java scripting nodes. |
| Interactive sounds. When one is around a region which is raining, we will have sounds for the rain, etc.. |
| Animation of the weather in 3d. We will be able to animate the clouds through past data. |

Unique abilities of NPAC's weather viewer
|
| Future work in 3D current weather data will yield results, incomparable to any commercial software available on the web. |
| 3D supercomputing weather data analysis viewer is the first collaborative weatherb data analysis program developed. |
