ISET/DDF Pilot Project Meeting, Boulder, CO, August 13-14

Purpose:

An application to demonstrate the use of OGC, Shaders, and EIS concepts in a real-world problem.

Description/Demo Script:

Data Access/Visualization:

• Show SEAMONSTER Data viewed on Pilot Platform (Jython/OPENGL). (KML)
• Show Topo, Wind, and Input Snow depth grid on Pilot Platform. (WFS/WCS?)

Analysis:

• Run Shader (GPU calculations on graphics card) to produce new Input Snow depth.

Prediction:

• Show Time series comparison of Model output (accessed via OGC service) between various inputs to learn about  "What if" scenarios

Implementation details/tasks:

• (Done) NOAA (Ashvin/Tom): Provide instructions for Pilot Platform Installation for Ed/Kawana.
• NOAA/Kawana/Ed: Ingest SEAMONSTER data into Pilot Platform and display.
• Ed: Develop WFS (web service) for Glacial Melt Model.
• Time series widget for viewing/comparing Glacial Melt Model output.
  • Ed:  Browser-based
  • NOAA: From pilot platform
• (Done) Eran/Josh: Provide snow depth grid(s) to NOAA.
• NOAA: Access Topo and Wind grids (preferably in OGC format).
• Eran: Send articles about deriving snow depth to NOAA.
• NOAA/Kawana: Write shaders to compute snow depth grid using alternative algorithms integrating Wind and Topo and send to Josh to run the Glacier Melt Model.
• NOAA/Ed/Kawana: Compare Model output from various inputs.
