Digital Earth Workbench: Magnetospheric Density
|
The Digital Earth Workbench is an interactive application that runs on a SGI Onyx Infinite Reality system and is controlled by an Immersive Workbench, tracked stereo glasses, and a tracked wand. The application allows an unprecedented freedom to roam georeferenced datasets at multiple resolutions and timescales. This animation is one of a series of direct creen captures of the application in operation. The occasional menu appearance denotes direct intervention by the operator to add or delete data or to activate a new control option.

Starting with a view of the magnetic field of the Earth, a surface of constant plasma density is added. The basket shape of the surface depicts the compression in front of the Earth caused by solar wind pressure and the handle behind the Earth due to the magnetotail current
