e3sm-quickview 2.8.0

An application to explore/analyze data for atmosphere component for E3SM

QuickView

QuickView is an open-source, interactive visualization tool designed to help Earth system modelers take a quick look at a collection of physical quantities in their simulation files. The physical quantities are presented in the form of global or regional maps. Currently, QuickView supports only the cubed-sphere "physics" grids, i.e., the ne*pg2 meshes used by the atmosphere component of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), but extensions to other grids are underway. QuickView's Python- and trame-based User Interface (UI) provides intuitive access to ParaView's powerful analysis and visualization capabilities without requiring a steep learning curve.

Key Features

• Intuitive, minimalist interface tailored for Earth system modeling.
• Multi-variable visualization.
• Persistent sessions—pick up where you left off.
• Support for EAM v2, v3, and upcoming v4 output formats as well as the E3SM land model ELM's input and output files on ne*pg2 grids.
