PMEL Programs and Plans
Accomplishments in FY 98 and Plans for FY 99
Innovative Technology
PMEL data analysis is performed for gridded data sets via
Ferret, geographical information via the VENTS
GIS and oceanographic observational data via EPIC.
Innovative instrumentation is developed by PMEL's Engineering
Development Division. Three dimensional visualization
provide new insight.
Innovative technology in software and hardware has been developed in support of
PMEL's research projects. Outstanding software and data management capabilities
allow scientists to access, view and analyze observational
and gridded data,
and to work with geograpical
information systems. Up-to-date information about PMEL
research is available on the World Wide Web, and near-realtime data, analysis
products and retrospective climatologies can be previewed
and downloaded for further analysis.
Three dimensional visualizations, animations,
and Virtual Reality methodologies
enable scientists to view and interact with data in new ways.
Perspective on PMEL's research program results is provided by
World Wide Web Theme Pages.
Essential support for computer and network technology are provided
by PMEL's Computing and
Network Services Division.
PMEL's Engineering Development
Division supports PMEL research with innovations in elecronics, mechanics,
materials, and sofware engineering. PMEL's
measurement capabilities in the field and laboratory are enhanced by application
of state-of-the-art instruments and systems that integrate observational and
measurement technologies.
