Three-dimensional Visualization for Support of Operational Forecasting at the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games
نویسنده
چکیده
To support precision forecasting at the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, a parallelized version of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) was installed on a 30-node distributed memory supercomputer (IBM RS/6000 SP) at the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, GA (Zaphiris, Edwards and Snook [1997]; Snook, Christidis and Edwards [1997]; and Edwards, Snook and Christidis [1997]). As an aid in the presentation and analysis of weather simulations at different resolutions (e.g., 8 km over the full domain and 2 km over specific Olympic venues) from this system, interactive three-dimensional visualization methods were introduced.
