New and evolving technologies in satellite, radar and other meteorological observation systems, and the continuing increase in computing power, all provide a wealth of meteorological, climatological and related data to scientists. Adequate visualization and interaction techniques can help to explore such large and heterogeneous data sets. Visualization enables researchers to find interesting features, to detect spatial, temporal, or multivariate relationships, or to evaluate uncertainties in the data. This facilitates the understanding of atmospheric processes and feedbacks between Earth system components. How can these improvements in technologies related to observation and processing be best communicated to meteorologists and others so that the great increase in knowledge is best communicated to society in general? How do you demonstrate new data and visualization techniques to facilitate understanding of those new data? How do you show the multispectral nature of the observations easily? How can immersive displays help you communicate important scientific observations to stakeholders, forecasters, and the general public? This session welcomes contributions from research fields such as scientific visualization, information visualization or visual analytics that are applicable to data sets from climatology, meteorology or related disciplines, and how those new systems and datasets can be best described to, for example, educators.
