Abstract
Visualization and visual analysis play important roles in exploring, analyzing, and presenting scientific data. In many disciplines, data and model scenarios are becoming multifaceted: data are often spatiotemporal and multivariate; they stem from different data sources (multimodal data), from multiple simulation runs (multirun/ensemble data), or from multiphysics simulations of interacting phenomena (multimodel data resulting from coupled simulation models). Also, data can be of different dimensionality or structured on various types of grids that need to be related or fused in the visualization. This heterogeneity of data characteristics presents new opportunities as well as technical challenges for visualization research. Visualization and interaction techniques are thus often combined with computational analysis. In this survey, we study existing methods for visualization and interactive visual analysis of multifaceted scientific data. Based on a thorough literature review, a categorization of approaches is proposed. We cover a wide range of fields and discuss to which degree the different challenges are matched with existing solutions for visualization and visual analysis. This leads to conclusions with respect to promising research directions, for instance, to pursue new solutions for multirun and multimodel data as well as techniques that support a multitude of facets.

Multivariate visualization for atmospheric pollution

TL;DR: A K-means clustering technique is used in combination with a similarity metric between streamlines based on an iterative closest point method to cluster the initial streamlines and reduce the inter-occlusion between streams and isosurfaces to show much clearer wind field pattern and important features effectively.

An ROI Visual-Analytical Approach for Exploring Uncertainty in Reservoir Models

TL;DR: This paper introduces the region of interest concept, that helps to perform the entire analysis only based on a specific portion of the reservoir, and suggests that usefulness, usability and visual interactivity are the key strengths of this approach.

See it to believe it?

TL;DR: In a survey of 1,274 recent systems papers as mentioned in this paper , at least 7.7% (98) of them present a visualisation-in-the-loop tool and the majority of these publications pay no attention and give little explanation to implemented visualisations.
