00:00:01,266 --> 00:00:09,605

IN 2019, NASA AND PARTNERS EMBARKED ON A 2-MONTH LONG FIELD EXPEDITION TO STUDY HOW AEROSOL PARTICLES IMPACT PRECIPITATION PATTERNS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

3

00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,668

DURING THAT TIME, THE TEAM COLLECTED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RAW DATA FILES FROM AIR, SEA, AND SPACE-BASED OBSERVATIONS.

4

00:00:14,666 --> 00:00:17,332

BUT ONCE THE FIELD WORK WRAPPED, A NEW CHALLENGE EMERGED.

5

00:00:17,331 --> 00:00:21,800

HOW BEST TO COMPILE AND COMMUNICATE THE DATA COLLECTED?

6

00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:29,502

IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ADVANCED VISUALIZATION LAB AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, THE TEAM BUILT A DATA DASHBOARD

7

00:00:29,698 --> 00:00:34,466

THE FIRST DASHBOARD TO INTEGRATE SUCH A DYNAMIC ARRAY OF DATA SOURCES FOR A NASA FIELD EXPEDITION.

8

00:00:34,464 --> 00:00:39,733

THE DASHBOARD VISUALIZES WHERE DATA POINTS APPEARED IN THE RECORD:

9

00:00:39,931 --> 00:00:47,035

WHETHER IT BE THE LOCATIONS OF DATA COLLECTION,

10

00:00:48,232 --> 00:00:55,503

ICE CRYSTAL SIZE AND SHAPE,

11

00:00:56,032 --> 00:01:02,502

CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT,

12

00:01:02,831 --> 00:01:12,071

OR MEASUREMENTS FROM A MULTITUDE OF INSTRUMENTS.

13

00:01:12,698 --> 00:01:18,501

IN TOTAL, THE TEAM COMPILED 76 DIFFERENT DATA VARIABLES.

14

00:01:18,796 --> 00:01:26,067

AND PIONEERED A NEW WAY TO SHARE NASA SCIENCE WITH RESEARCHERS AROUND THE GLOBE.

15

00:01:42,462 --> 00:01:49,733

THIS PROJECT WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE AIST PROGRAM AT NASA'S EARTH SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY OFFICE.
