Visualization is critical to the effective analysis, dissemination and assessment of data generated by numerical weather prediction. In that regard, consider two aspects of our previous work. First is the need to develop appropriate mapping of user goals to the design of pictorial content by considering both the underlying data characteristics and the perception of the visualization (Treinish, 2001). The second is the adaptation of
these ideas from workstation or PC/game-class three-dimensional graphics systems with sufficient bandwidth for timely access to the model data to remote access via the world-wide-web (Treinish, 2002b). In this situation, the limitation in bandwidth is the primary bottleneck since desktop systems can support interactive visualization of typical model data.
