Foil 6 VRML integration with the terrain data set

From Overview of HPCC Applications at NPAC CRPC Annual Meeting -- May 14-17 1996. by Geoffrey Fox
1 We will use the current output from ARPS in hdf format.
2 We will visualize the moisture variables.
  • We run an isosurface routine on the raw data, which generates output of cloud formation.
  • Will are developing a Java applet which will read in 3D data and determine isosurfaces.
    • The user will input the isosurface value from a WWW page running the applet.
    • The output of this applet will be VRML data that will be instantly rendered.
    • Also it can be stored in our Illustra object database
3 For the integration of the weather data to the existing 3D VRML terrain data set, we will use a 2D mask function which will determine where snow has fallen to a certain level.
4 VRML data will be stored in a database, allowing the user to interactively turn on and off the weather information over the terrain.
