Re: A new 3D Globe image for Terra: The cloud rendering would look more realistic if the cloud database were interpolated to much higher resolution before the 3-D projection, so that individual...; Submitted by Chesters Dennis on 4/25/99

Re: A new 3D Globe image for Terra: The cloud rendering has a strange on-off "venetian blind" effect with altitude.; Submitted by Chesters Dennis on 4/25/99

Cloud rendering is ragged - use antialiasing?: The cloud rendering is sometimes a raggged 3D redrawing of 2D images. Can you render it with anti-aliasing and/or smoother interpolation?; Submitted by Chesters Dennis on 2/17/98

Globe rendering with VRML: The globe would be especially interesting if rendered as a VRML globe that could be manipulated by the web client. Multiple parameters (layers) rendered...; Submitted by Chesters Dennis on 2/17/98

Biomass burning over sub-saharan Africa?: The mostly red pixels in sub-saharan Africa are a puzzle. The caption implies biomass burning, which is not the case there.; Submitted by Chesters Dennis on 2/17/98

Where is the aerosol layer?: I don't see an aerosol layer over the ocean. What am I missing?; Submitted by Chesters Dennis on 2/17/98
