VAPOR project overview
¥VAPOR is the Visualization and Analysis Platform for Oceanic, atmospheric and solar Research
¥Problem:  Because of the recent growth in supercomputing performance, scientific datasets are becoming too large to interactively apply analysis and visualization resources. 
¥Goal:  Make it easier to analyze and visualize massive (Terabyte and greater) datasets
Provide interactive data access
Develop user interface customized for scientists
¥VAPOR is funded by NSF ITR: a collaboration with NCAR, UC DavisÕ Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization, and Ohio State UniversityÕs Dept. of Computer and Information Sciences
