8-9 December 2000
MTN Science Center 15-18 January 2001 Albuquerque, NM AMS Annual Meeting 15 January 2001 12:30-1:10pm State-of-the-art Visualization from the Latest Observations and Numerical Models Ultra-high Resolution - 3072 x768 & HDTV 2000 Digital Earth & Results from Terra Fritz Hasler (NASA/Goddard) will demonstrate the latest Digital Earth technology. Fly in from space and take a tour of Africa. Drop in on Albuquerque using 1 m Aerial or Ikonos "Spy Satellite" data. See spectacular data from the new EOS Terra satellite as well as Landsat 7, and SeaWiFS. See animations of the hurricanes & tropical storms: Floyd, Georges, Mitch, Bonnie etc. from GOES & TRMM supported by MM5 3-D nested numerical model results. See dust storms in Africa and smoke plumes from fires in Mexico. See how HDTV is revolutionizing commercial TV and the way we communicate scientific results.. See climate change in action with Global Land & Ocean productivity changes over the last 20 years. Remote sensing observations of ocean SST, height, winds, color, and El NiŅo from GOES, AVHRR, SSMI & SeaWiFS are put in context with 10 year LANL global ocean model. Compare the Gulf Stream observed by Terra with the simulations.
15 January 2001 7-8:30pm
Bill Hibbard and Steve Ackerman (U of WI) will present a range of Earth
science visualizations, from the use of ocean simulations to create
realistic special effects for The Perfect Storm, to interactive Vis5D
explorations of storm simulations, to web applets that provide hands-on
learning of meteorological principles for students, and finally to a look
at how scientists will use their computers in the future. The Perfect
Storm could not have been made in a real storm, so it was shot with a boat
in a tank and overlaid on a computer simulation of a storm - we will show
a video of how this was accomplished. We will also show how scientists
use Vis5D to understand their storm simulations. Then we will change
gears to visualizations for everyone on the world wide web, with a series
of web applets that students use to conduct their own little experiments
with basic ideas of meteorology. Finally we will look at the future,
where scientists interact with computations and with each other in a
shared virtual space. 16 January 2001 12:40-1:45pm Voyages of Discovery From Lewis and Clark to Andromeda Dave Curkendall and his NASA/JPL team will orchestrate three explorations based on triple screen visualizations of NASA remote sensing data.. A new 30m all U.S. Landsat mosaic is exploited to recap the Lewis and Clark expedition across the then unknown continent. Next we retell the observational history of Mars from Medieval times through Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor. Finally, we leave the solar system entirely and explore the night time sky in the infrared and the optical where there can be seen more than 5 million stars and galaxies in a single 10 degree patch. 16 January 2001 7-10pm Polar Orbiters (starting 7:30 p.m.) The Etheater will present a prelude starting at 7:00 p.m., provide supporting visuals for the speakers, and present a postlude during the reception. ITT Reception 9:00 p.m 17 January 2001 12-1:30pm "Visualizing Our Planet" Don Middleton (NCAR) will take viewers on a visually spectacular tour of the simulated and observed Earth System. Middleton will present the NOAA/NCEP Global 5-GEO satellite global composite animation (4km IR images at 30 min interval) and contrast these remote sensing datasets with the latest global 3D numerical General Circulation Model (GCM) results from the NCAR, NCAR/Goddard, NCEP & ECMWF models. Middleton will provide a look into a number of recent research efforts on storms, including new ultra-high resolution simulations of hurricanes and simulations of storms and lightning. The tour will wrap up with ventures into ocean circulation, global chemistry models, wildfires, paleoclimate, and turbulence. 17 January 2001 7-10pm AMS Annual Awards Banquet Ron McPherson, AMS President will direct an awards celebration to honor outstanding contributions in fields of Earth Sciences and to the Society. Assisting him in this production will be Yale Schiffman (AMS). The Etheater facilities and high resolution video materials will be used to support the evening's activities. 18 January 2001 12:30-1:10pm Finale: Highlights of Etheater 2000 K. Palaniappan (UMC) will give highlights of the 2000 Earth Science Electronic Theater demonstrating HDTV, and featuring new results in atmospheric chemistry real-time high-resolution photochemical model simulations by John McHenry (North Carolina Supercomputing Center), and interactive visualization of real-time high-resolution local mesoscale weather modelling by Lloyd Treinish (IBM). The E-theater tour will begin with a satellite view of swirling eye-wall clouds in hurricanes Floyd & Mitch, on to tornadic thunderstorms of Oklahoma City and SLC in stereo and the churning global oceans, concluding with the weather on Mars. 18 January 2001 7-9pm John Michael Cousteau Program The Etheater will provide supporting visuals if required 4-8 June 2001 MIT Science Imaging Conference Boston, MA 15-19 October 2001 AMS Satellite Conference Madison, WI 26 June 2001 International Digital Earth Conference Fredericton New Brunswick 16 October 2001 AMS Satellite Conference Madison, Wisconsin Other Possible Venues July 15 2000 - Worlds Fair Expo 2000 - Hanover Germany Millennium Dome - London England Association of Science Museums Annual Meeting Concert with the National Symphony Orchestra at Wolf Trap Earth & Space Opera suggested by Helen Matsos (NASA/AMNH) National Geographic Lecture - Explorer Hall - Washington DC Presentation for the Washington Press Club Deutches Museum IMAX theater - Munich Germany Zurich Switzerland IMAX theater - Contact: Reto Stockli Museum of News - Alexandria VA Minnesota Science Museum - St Paul/Minneapolis - Contact: Alan Nelson Adler Planetarium (Chicago) Employee Colloquium SGI Inc Mountain View Columbia University School of Journalism (Contact: Dan Dubno CBS News Special Projects) November 2000 CEOS Meetings - South America April Meeting of the National Science Teachers Association (22,000 teachers) St. Petersburg State University - St. Petersburg Russia NAB SMPTE COMDEX SIGGRAPH 2000
