Volumetric temperature data are warped into a set of concentric spherical shells, and registered with a topographic globe in an earth-centered, 3d coordinate system. The data are volume rendered.
The network to create this image is shown.
The sample data are courtesy of National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC), NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center.
The map projections are implemented via the Data Explorer Cartography Toolkit.
