New Analysis Tools for Large Numerical Data Sets


GTP mini-workshop

National Center for Atmospheric Research

Boulder, Colorado

August 8-12, 1994


The purpose was to facilitate access to large NCAR numerical data sets for some young scientists, gain acquaintance with recent developments in 3D visualization, and promote discussions on how best to use the very large, that is greater than 256^3 points, data sets currently being generated. Examples of the flows visualized are incompressible vortices , incompressible turbulent convection , compressible turbulence , and compressible convection .

Local organizers: Robert Kerr, MMM, Axel Brandenburg , NORDITA, Copenhagen, former HAO/ASP/NCAR, and Jackson Herring , MMM.
