Funding Information:
In this paper we discuss several of these issues, as well as the hardware, software, and networking requirements for scientific visualization at the University of Oklahoma (OU)-National Science Foundation (NSF) Science and Technology Center, CAPS - the Center for the Analysis and Prediction of Storms, and the Geosciences Computing Network (GCN) of the OU College of Geosciences. We also address the probable future requirements for hardware, software and networking to preserve (and enhance where possible) the convenience, functionality, reliability, and interactivity of visualization systems for the scientific users, while preserving or improving maintainability for the GCN and CAPS scientific programming staffs.

1Sponsored by the National Science Foundation
Funding Information:
in 1983 by a grant from the Shell Companies Foundation as a center for research in seismic data processing and visualization. The facility has grown rapidly since its inception, and now involves 12 professional staff, computer systems operating under UNIX and VMS, and network connections enabling research access to machines worldwide. The GCN serves about 200 users in the University of Oklahoma (OU) College of Geosciences, for which it is the major remote sensing, image processing, and visualization resource.

N2 - This paper presents a general overview of the current research and development in scientific visualization at the University of Oklahoma (OU) Geosciences Computing Network (GCN) and the Center for the Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS). The discussion includes a description of hardware components and preliminary results in the use of interactive and noninteractive data analysis software in both UNIX and VMS environments. New tools and techniques are being developed and used to study data from severe thunderstorm models, meteorological observing systems and other general fluid dynamics applications. These techniques are also being used to assist in the development of a new breed of real-time meteorological modeling, forecasting and information systems. Our systems will utilize visualization throughout the entire operating cycle including data ingest, prediction, and display and analysis of end products.
