This includes location of methane-releasing wells, a projection of methane outflow and an animated wind-indicator. Methane displays data from Showcase B: Methane. This data is fused with sensor measurements from a real dust cloud with similar parameters to the simulation. Plume shows a simulated dust cloud from the Mining Impact project over a sonar scan of terrain. It also contains early gridded versions of the GLODAP data as part of a quality control study. GLODAP shows measurements from the GLODAP project over terrain from. There are public demos for several different showcases:

As the Digital Earth Viewer is under constant development, new sources and functionalities are being added all the time! Specialised sources have been built to read and display Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data, GPX tracks, and further application-specific formats. The client front-end can be accessed using any popular web browser without the need to install any other software components.Ĭurrently, general-purpose-sources are implemented for the netCDF, ESRI ASCII Grid, GeoTIFF and CSV file formats, as well as facilities to load data from WMS or Maptile-servers or to interact with SQLite databases. The server back-end can be hosted remotely for access through the internet or locally for offline usage. The software was conceived as a hybrid application split into a server back-end and a client front-end. It helps contextualise mixed observation and simulation data in time and space by creating a virtual 4D environment for the user to explore. The Digital Earth Viewer is a component-wise scalable web-based framework for simultaneous visualisation of multiple heterogeneous data sources.
