| Abstract: |
In this paper we introduce two independent projects in progress in Japan.
Dagik Earth is a visualization project of the Earth and planets on a spherical screen using only a standard PC and a projector. Surface images of the Earth or planets (or whatever having spherical shape) in the equirectangular (plate carre) projection are projected on a spherical screen in the orthographic projection.
As a result, the spherical screen becomes a virtual digital globe, which can be rotated using mouse or remote controller.
Inter-university Upper atmosphere Global Observation NETwork (IUGONET) is a collaboration of five Japanese institutes to build a comprehensive database system for the metadata of the upper-atmospheric data taken by these institutes.
We explain the IUGONET metadata database and iUgonet
Data Analysis Software (UDAS) for upper atmospheric research. |
