NRDC data visualization web suite: Tool for data visualization, comparison, and prediction analysis

Abstract

The Nevada Research Data Center (NRDC) is a research data management center that collects sensor-based data from various locations throughout the state of Nevada. The measurements collected are specifically environmental data, which are used in cross-disciplinary research across different facilities. Since data is being collected at a high rate, it is necessary to be able to visualize the data quickly and efficiently. This paper discusses in detail a web application that can be used by researchers to make visualizations that can help in data comparisons. While there exist other web applications that allows researchers to visualize the data, this project expands on that idea by allowing researchers the ability to not only visualize the data but also make comparisons and predictions.
