The 2014 IEEE SciVis Contest targeted data from atmospheric research that captures volcanic eruptions and their atmospheric aftermath. The goal was to create a comprehensive visualization of the provided data that enables domain experts to gain a deeper understanding of the volcanic eruption events and helps them better understand the consequences for atmosphere and climate.
The data are provided by the Simulation Laboratory Climate Science at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre and the Institute of Energy and Climate Research, both at Research Center Jülich, Germany within the JARA - High Performance Computing collaboration.
