Tools for Multidimensional Visualization of Acoustic Modeling Outputs in a Geospatial Environment: Phase 1 - Feasibility Results

摘要

Improved representation of acoustic model outputs and exploration of methods of multidimensional visualization are key elements of NUWC Division Newport's Mission Environmental Planning (MEP) Program's current three-phase model maintenance and upgrade initiative 'Tools for Multidimensional Visualization of Acoustic Modeling Outputs in a Geospatial Environment.' Phase 1 of the project, initiated on 26 October 2005, consisted of a feasibility study to evaluate, test, and assess the capabilities of various software packages deemed capable of multidimensional analysis. Through partnership with the University of Rhode Island Environmental Data Center, phase 1 has been completed, the results of which are presented in this document.
