Keywords: dynamic ; animation
Abstract:

Data visualization technologies are applied to complex datasets to leverage the innate human pattern recognition capability. By accentuating selected types of graphical patterns, the analyst can develop hypotheses about the data that may be explored with other techniques or used to develop a statistical model. Advances in computer technology have enabled the use of animation in data visualization, aiding the recognition of dynamical patterns. This poster will illustrate dynamical patterns found in the meteorological dataset identified using a tool built specifically for visualization of dynamic data. A summary of the use of the visualization tool's major components on the meteorological dataset will be presented.
