Geo-reprojection Collection to Visualization Approach Hurricane Visualization Raw Observations Animated Climate Visualization
Gridding Convert Observations from orbital projection to a lat/lon grid
Observations over a 2D area Spatial Response Function describes sensitivity distribution Observation Coverage Model
Obscov Model Given an observation Determine Coverage • How does observation split into grid cells • Integral of Spatial Response Function over grid cell area.
Effect on Hurricanes Observation Coverage model produces precise grids, and corrects needless artifacts • Removes Stippling at high resolutions
Obscov Method Polygon integral base case
Conclusion Developed Obscov Algorithm Processed 5KM AIRS and MODIS Datasets over Hurricane Bill, and distributed to FAU
