Task-specific Visualization Design for Operational Weather Forecasting: Efforts to create highly generic visualizations, both content and interface, often fail when applied to non-research-oriented or operational activities composed of several goals. Although these goals may appear to be related, they are often composed of distinct tasks. Generic solutions, even if domain-specific, may lack sufficient focus to be effective for such purposes. The design of different visualization tools matched to a set of tasks but built on top of a common framework with similar approach to content is a promising alternative. This hypothesis is tested in detail by application to a demanding problem -- operational weather forecasting.

Visualization of Atmospheric Responses to Energetic Particle Precipitation: The study of this phenomena may involve the analysis of remotely sensed and in situ data from sounding rockets or spacecraft including particles and fields, soundings of minor atmospheric constituents and temperature as well as comparisons with models.

Visualization of Scattered Meteorological Data: Study of Severe Rainfall Events in Northwestern Peru: The heating of the ocean off the Peruvian coast during El Nino periods is part of a larger scale warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean by several degrees C that creates large anomalies in oceanic and atmospheric circulation.
