Three-Dimensional Visualization of Ozone Process Data.

Abstract

In the last ten years, significant developments have occurred in the separate fields of three-dimensional visualization and air quality. The primary goal of this research is to find means and methods of coupling air quality data to three-dimensional visualization in order to enhance ozone process analysis. Process analysis data refers to the individual rates associated with the different processes (advection, diffusion, deposition, and chemical reaction) within the mass balance and integrated reaction rate calculations of air quality models. Generally discarded by models after computations are completed, a process analysis method retains these rates for analysis into which factors are most significantly impacting the accumulation of ozone in the troposphere.
