ITCC Berlin BioVis 08

To bridge the gap between climate impact research on the one hand and decision makers and the public on the other hand, we introduce an new approach visualizing climate driving forces together with their possible impacts onto the biosphere. Therefore, an interactive tool synchronizing multiple-views has been designed and implemented, providing easy-to-use access to simulation results for several driving climate models, emission scenarios, vegetation variables / classifications and statistical derivations. It provides intuitive access to temporal and spatial regions of interest. Furthermore, to deploy this tool in different use cases, a mechanism for fast image pre-calculation in different image resolutions has been implemented.
