ABSTRACT: In modern time,
visualizing a collection of discrete values and data is frequently required in
scientific investigation. Predicting the potential fluctuation of a parameter
such as heat flux, stress, or weather patterns is difficult in the case of
environmental data. Numerous new visualization techniques and technologies for
analyzing large datasets are common in the field of software visualization.
However, selecting the right tool to meet requirements of the users for
visualizing large datasets remains difficult. This paperoffers the results of a survey conducted on the techniques and tools
currently used for environmental data visualization by past researchers
andauthors. It provides an overview of several popular visualization
tools and a brief assessment of their capabilities to support research
involving large datasets of environmental data. A classification system of
visualization techniques isalso tried to present, determined by the
number of different factors that can be visualized. Emerging innovations in the
development of related user interfaces, as well as a variety of new
visualization tools and their appropriateness, are also addressed. Ultimately,
several future research directions in data visualization are proposed.
