GIS Functionality with Virtual GlobesWxAnalyst has pioneered advanced techniques to enable GIS functionality in the Virtual Globe environment.WxAzygyTM Tools for Google Earth |
|
The WxAzygyTM Tools prototype enables real time data production
and visualization in Google Earth. WxAnalyst developed COLLADA-based KML structures
for Simpson Weather Associates to display
airborne Doppler Lidar return information and derived environmental products. The Simpson Weather
ILIMMS
has successfully completed field trials for airborne Doppler Lidar remote
sensing of atmospheric winds, aerosols and turbulence. The WxAzygy Animation interface
allows precise control of the display time and time interval.
Additional controls (not shown) support query capability on data layers, enabling true
GIS functionality in the Virtual Globe environment.
The WxAzygy capability also enables user interactive modification of in flight laser pointing
and scanning strategies. Scientific papers on this application are in preparation for the AGU Fall Meeting (Dec 2008 in SFO) AMS Annual Meeting (Jan 2009 in Phoenix, AZ) sessions on Virtual Globes.
