Notes
1. EVA face to face Working Group Meeting
Tamaya Hyatt Hotel, Santa Ana Pueblo, NM
Meeting Topics
- EVA Update
- Model Intercomparison: Analysis and Visualization Framework
- Quantitative tools to evaluate similarity of data (models and observations)
- Critical analysis of climate visualization methods and Best Practices for complex visualization
- Joint with Provenance Working Group
- Update on PBase and Prov WG’s future plan
- Climate scientists’ needs on capturing and using provenance
- Model Benchmarking Approach and Methods
- MsTMIP Advanced Visualization of Model-Model Intercomparison
Should we set up a Google Hangouts for those who cannot travel to the WG meeting?
2. Visualization Critique and Visualization Best Practices - Aritra and Claudio
- Goal:
- critically evaluate maps, scatter plots, and line plots from existing papers
- categorize the types of issues found and place into a taxonomy
- develop better charts that convey the same intent, but are more pleasing visually
- devise a list of best practices for visualizaing data that can be used by carbon modelers
- Describe the methodology of the study in Aritra's manuscript
- Describe the taxonomy of design problems
- Pick a few example figures from existing literatures, apply the above taxonomy to identify their problems, propose improvement solutions, and ask feedbacks from climate scientists (agree or disagree)
