Abstract

This paper discusses the use of simple visual tools to exploremultivariate spatially-referenced data. It describes interactiveapproaches such as linked brushing, and dynamic methods such as thegrand tour, applied to studying the Comprehensive Ocean-AtmosphereData Set (COADS). This visual approach provides an alternative way togain understanding of high-dimensional data. It also providescross-validation and visual adjuncts to the more computationallyintensive data mining techniques.
