Ocean current and sea surface temperature (SST) are draped on a hillshaded sea temperature layer for a better visualization effect. Current vectors are calculated and symbolized for each raster cell. 2 – Demo of an image service published with National Digital Forecast Data (NDFD) of NOAA’s National Weather Service, 3-hour interval, 4-day-time event. The demo shows a proof-of-concept of on-the-fly scientific computing capability with a multidimensional mosaic dataset and image service. The heat index, wind chill, and fire warning layers are computed on-the-fly from 3 variables added to the mosaic dataset. The scientist can send a request with their algorithm to the server which returns the computed result in seconds. 3 – A forthcoming new feature for scientific data. Adding one variable from netCDF, GRIB, or HDF file will be just as easy as a simple drag-drop, and the layer is a multidimensional raster.
