1 4DWX program, and select applications 26 August, 2003

2 Outline 4DWX overview Demos: Global Meteorology on Demand VisAD-based Plume Visualization Tool JVIS: Java 2-D integrated display PDA apps

3 4DWX program elements High-res analyses and forecasting, and coupled applications: dispersion, sound propagation, etc Decision support for operational forecasters, HS/HD agencies, first responders Database applications (obs- and model-based climatology) Visualization: 2-D (Jade), 3-D (VisAD), Stereo (Vis5D+), mobile (Java, HTML)

4 4DWX applications focus in FY03 MM5 16/28-member ensemble FDDA/3DVAR VDRAS VLAS AutoNowcaster Short-term forecast of: storm location lightning potential storm severity Coupled M Models Dispersion Sound propagation Ballistic trajectory Airdrop Missile debris Decision Support Systems visualization

5 Visualization: areas of development
