Web-Based Visualization of Atmospheric Nucleation Processes for Mobile Embedded Clients

With the development of science, remote data visualization is playing an increasingly important role. Meanwhile working on the road is becoming the life style of modern society. However, handicapped by the limits of the mobile embedded device and mass data to be visualized, the remote data visualization for mobile clients is still a big challenge. In this paper, we enhance our previously developed web-based tool to support mobile collaborative research of atmospheric nucleation processes. The paper shows how data mining, data compression, rendering acceleration and other techniques are used to overcome the limitations of network transfer, computation capability and cache capacity.
