In the evolving landscape of data visualization and geographic information system (GIS) technology, emerging technologies are increasingly bridging the gap between these fields, enabling innovative approaches to geospatial data representation. NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio (SVS) has long been a leader in producing high-resolution climate and earth science visualizations based on GMAO GEOS-CF data. Traditionally, these visualizations are static and computationally intensive, but recent advancements in GIS technology offer new opportunities for interactivity and enhanced data integration.
