Application Structure Questions

[BryonLewis]

• What is a user presented with when logging in/launching the system?
  • Is there a list of outputs or a list of input data files? Is this a flat list with a filtering tool to filter by the parameters? Are outputs/inputs split into different tabs?
  • Is there a list of power plants? Does a user select a power plant and then select other layers to visualize the power plant based on inputs/outputs?
• Input/Output data is based on NetCDF files that have a time component
  • Can we get a comprehensive list of the inputs and output files and what needs to be included?
  • Is there additional data that needs to be shown such as the Power Plants in an area?
  • Are we only rendering this data in the NetCDFs as a time series of images or do we want to merge the data to the power plants and render them as graphs?
  • Mentioned a selection system of data for the inputs/outputs based on parameters.
    • What are these parameters for the inputs and outputs?
    • Noticed these parameters aren’t human readable is there a human-readable mapping for these parameter values?
    • Do we filter down to a specific file or to a collection of files? I.E Filtering by these parameters can provide a list of layers that match the value.
  • We know there are input/output data (that has a basis of NetCDF Layers) or is there a direct connection between the inputs and output parameters? I.E these input files match these output files. Do we need this mapping and do we need to have a direct connection between them?
  • There is talk of doing comparison views. The source data is netCDFs is this simply toggling layers of netCDFs or is there some more advanced comparison?
  • Could merge netCDF into vector feature tables and graph data from multiple layers at the same time for comparison?
    • Is this a comparison between two models or N models?
  • Some sort of sliding window tool where there are two maps and you can drag the slider to visualize different areas of the netCDF image representation?
  • Other advanced computed layers where a new NetCDF image is created by visualizing the difference between two?

On launch presetned with input/output tool that displays the tagged inputs/outputs.
Also see a vector map with the power plant data.
User can use the filters for the inputs/outputs as well as cick and zoom in on power point
The list of inputs/outputs will updated based on the box of the window or the selected power plant.
Data for the powerplant includes merged down data from the netCDF inputs/outputs.
