Company products under development : Realtime landscapes visualisation : the PBASoft ESG (Extended Scene Graph technology) enables the visualisation of...
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....
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...
I favor using color-coded sea surface temperature for the ocean layer. Your example used a map of sea surface anomalies during El Nino, which is better...
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...
Rudy: I am writing at the suggestion of Michael King to request a new 3-D global image similar to the one you provided earlier. Michael felt that while...
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...
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,...
The 3D Earth image was synthesized from four data layers: land, fires, aerosol optical thickness over the oceans and the clouds. This brief description...
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...
Your web site is nice looking and easy to understand and to navigate. The picture is worthy of show, especially in a real (or virtual) kiosk. It is quite...
The pictures that get downloaded should not sacrifice color to the dithering that comes with 8-bit GIF. Use JPEG with mild compression to preserve smooth...
The globe would be especially interesting if rendered as a VRML globe that could be manipulated by the web client. Multiple parameters (layers) rendered...
Gee Rudy, pretty impressive. Thanks for letting me preview this. May I suggest that you couple this rendering with the data given on SeaWiFS Imagery in...
The image is very beautifull and, I guess, meaningful for the program. I particularly appreciate the two polar 3D cloud covers, it's impressive. In fact,...
My reaction to the image of Planet Earth was that it serves he purpose of attracting attention, but would confuse the public. False colors are not easily...
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...
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...
I received your print of the new image for the MTPE/EOS Backdrop. It looks very nice. Perhaps the newer SeaWiFS NDVI would be an improvement. It captures...
Dr. Husar, thanks for the images that you ftp'd to me. Unfortunately, the low resolution was not usable for enlargement for the display. Well, I had just...
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...
Dr. Husar, I am an contractor who support directly under Michael King for the Earth Observing System at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt Maryland....
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...
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/
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'...
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...
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...
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...
