Activity log for Rudolf Husar

Re: Re: A new 3D Globe image for Terra: Yes, the 3D cloud rendering needs higher vertical resolution (i.e. devision of the IR temperature into more slices) to reduce the Vencian blind effect....; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 4/25/99

Re: A new 3D Globe image for Terra: David: Thanks again for your consideration of the 3D Globe image for your Outreach effort. In order to offer some variety, I have prepared a page with some...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 4/22/99

Design choices for the new NASA Terra poster image: A new poster is being designed for the NASA Terra Program. The poster is to include a synthetic 3D globe image similar to the one used in the; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 4/20/99

The NASA's Earth Science Enterprise Backdrop is in use: The new conference exhibit backdrop for the Earth Science Enterprise Program is now in use at various scientific meetings. It is 20x10 feet in size, with...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/12/98

Re: Picture OK for a real (or virtual) kiosk.: Thanks for the niffty suggestion of a virtual kiosk on the NASA website. Before the virtual reality (VRML) era fully arrives, one could add a few animations,...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/25/98

Re: Use JPEG not GIF to preserve color.: Thanks, it is good to know. We will make a link to a JPG version of the of the large 3DGLOBE image on the front page.; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/25/98

Re: Cloud rendering is ragged - use antialiasing?: We could make it a bit smoother by breaking up the cloud into say 32 rather than the current 16 layers. (See the ...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/25/98

Re: Globe rendering with VRML: I agree fully. VRML is a neat new technology that can make interaction be real fun and instructive. Take this little ...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/25/98

Re: Biomass burning over sub-saharan Africa?: The red dots are fire sightings by the AVHRR sensor for January 1993. (See the ...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/25/98

3D Globe Image Construction: The 3D Earth image was synthesized from four data layers: land, fires, aerosol optical thickness over the oceans and the clouds. This brief description...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/25/98

Re: Where is the aerosol layer?: The entire ocean surface is colored by the magnitude of the aerosol optical thickness, AOT derived from AVHRR . Red is high, blue is low AOT. I never got...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 2/24/98

Re: How about some artistry?: The white spots over North Africa roughly correspond to the location of smooth sandy areas in Africa....; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/28/98

Re: A suggestion on rendering: Thanks for the idea Steve, but why stop with just 'seeing' the Earth with SeaWiFS? How about also sensing the surface roughness, the ...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/28/98

3D Rendering: The rendering is done in a perspective projection of (flat LatLon) data layers. The eye is at 55 deg West and 0 deg North. The land and aerosol layers are...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/3/98

Layer used in the image: Land, Oceanic Aerosol, Clouds (IR): The image uses three data layers: (1) land image from SeaWifs, (2)oceanic aerosol from AVHRR and (3) a cloud IR layer from multiple GOES satellites. The...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/3/98

Re: Need Global Image for MTPE Backdrop: Winnie, I am honored for the cosideration of our 3DGlobe image as part of the MTPE new backdrop. When do you need it? The person who made the image now...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/2/98

Progress Report on 3D Globe Images: This is a brief progress report on the status of the 3DGlobe 'project'. My former colleagues are now reassembling the 3D rendering software and testing...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/2/98

Prototype High Resolution Globe Image: Winnie, the prototype high-resolution image for the MTPE/EOS backdrop is now done. You will find it through the web page: http://capita.wustl.edu/MTPEPoster/
I...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/2/98

Globe Image with SeaWiFS Landcover Done: Michael, I have looked into the possible use of the SeaWiFS images for the Land cover. Those images are terrific! I am proposing to use the 'true color'...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 1/2/98

Sanjay Limaye: Sanjay has provided the high resolution (5000X2500) global composite cloud IR image that is used in the project.; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/5/97

Kari Hoijarvi: Kari designed the three-dimensional rendering algorithm while he was with CAPITA. He is also helping with the operation of the software on the NT operating...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/5/97

Bryan Van Hook: Bryan is responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of this MTPE/EOS image website.; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/5/97

Form: This discussion forum addresses the form of the image.; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/5/97

Content: This discussion forum addresses the content for the image.; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/5/97

Goals: This discussion forum addresses the design goals for the image.; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 12/5/97

Mission To Planet Earth: NASA's Program to Understanding Our Changing Planet: A new approach to studying the Earth's interconnections. Scientific challenge: how do the Earth's land, water, air, and life interact to produce the environment...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 11/26/97

The task at hand: To create a global image suitable for a 20x10 foot MTPE poster: NASA is designing on a new 10'(h)x 20'(w) Mission to Planet Earth/Earth Observing System conference exhibit backdrop as illustrated on the Home page. The...; Submitted by Husar Rudolf on 11/26/97
