The MCNC Environmental Programs Group has created this suite of AVS demo
modules, networks, and sample data sets to demonstrate the functionality
of its visualization prototype for an Environmental Decision Support System
(EDSS).  This system provides a unified method of analysis and visualization
for data output from different environmental air quality models.  Remotely,
standard output files from the following models can be read into AVS:

        ROM (Regional Oxidant Model)
        RADM (Regional Acid Deposition Model), low res and high res
        RADM (Regional Acid Depostion Model) Emissions, low res
        UAM (Urban Airshed Model, regulatory version)
        UAM (Urban Airshed Model, AREAL research version)
        UAM Wind (Urban Airshed Model, regulatory version)
        MCNC ALPHA-Prototype netCDF files

Alternatively, xdr portable binary AVS fields can be created from these
data types and accessed directly from the local workstation.
