00:00:01,266 --> 00:00:09,599
IN 2019, NASA AND PARTNERS EMBARKED ON A 2-MONTH LONG FIELD EXPEDITION TO STUDY HOW AEROSOL PARTICLES IMPACT PRECIPITATION PATTERNS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,665
DURING THAT TIME, THE TEAM COLLECTED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RAW DATA FILES FROM AIR, SEA, AND SPACE-BASED OBSERVATIONS.

4
00:00:14,666 --> 00:00:17,330
BUT ONCE THE FIELD WORK WRAPPED, A NEW CHALLENGE EMERGED.

5
00:00:17,331 --> 00:00:21,800
HOW BEST TO COMPILE AND COMMUNICATE THE DATA COLLECTED?

6
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:29,502
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ADVANCED VISUALIZATION LAB AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, THE TEAM BUILT A DATA DASHBOARD

7
00:00:29,698 --> 00:00:34,463
THE FIRST DASHBOARD TO INTEGRATE SUCH A DYNAMIC ARRAY OF DATA SOURCES FOR A NASA FIELD EXPEDITION.

8
00:00:34,464 --> 00:00:39,733
THE DASHBOARD VISUALIZES WHERE DATA POINTS APPEARED IN THE RECORD:

9
00:00:39,931 --> 00:00:47,035
WHETHER IT BE THE LOCATIONS OF DATA COLLECTION,

10
00:00:48,232 --> 00:00:55,503
ICE CRYSTAL SIZE AND SHAPE,

11
00:00:56,032 --> 00:01:02,502
CONDITIONS OUTSIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT,

12
00:01:02,831 --> 00:01:12,071
OR MEASUREMENTS FROM A MULTITUDE OF INSTRUMENTS.

13
00:01:12,698 --> 00:01:18,501
IN TOTAL, THE TEAM COMPILED 76 DIFFERENT DATA VARIABLES.

14
00:01:18,796 --> 00:01:26,067
AND PIONEERED A NEW WAY TO SHARE NASA SCIENCE WITH RESEARCHERS AROUND THE GLOBE.
