本章讨论了当前的做法和新兴的环境数据可视化，勘探和相互比较的新方法，在特定的背景下的“流体地球科学”，即气象学，海洋学和气候科学。讨论也与地球系统的其他研究领域高度相关，特别是涉及大型多维数据集的领域。本章首先概述了科学家必须掌握的各种数据，以及当前常用工具的特点和功能。它描述了支持当前工具和方法的信息学和基础设施的现状。它还解释了以特定软件应用程序和基础设施形式出现的一些新方法，其复杂程度从仅支持可视化的系统到支持定量处理和相互比较的系统不等，突出了科学应用和使其成为可能的最新技术进步。受控词汇量变量;统计数据;统计软件
This chapter discusses the current practices and emerging new methods of environmental data visualization, exploration, and intercomparison in the particular context of the “fluid earth sciences,” namely meteorology, oceanography, and climate science. The discussion is also highly relevant to other areas of study of the Earth system, particularly where large, multidimensional datasets are involved. The chapter begins by providing an overview of the many varieties of data with which scientists must get to grips, and the characteristics and capabilities of the tools that are in current common use. It describes the current state of informatics and infrastructure that underpin current tools and methods. It also explains some new approaches in the form of specific software applications and infrastructures, ranging in complexity from visualization‐only systems to those that support quantitative processing and intercomparison, highlighting the scientific applications and the recent technological advances that have enabled them.Controlled Vocabulary Termsquantitative variables; statistical data; statistical software
