I am now primarily involved with the SSEC Machine Intelligence Project.

Most of my career was spent with the SSEC Visualization Project and its two freely available software systems:

• Vis5D
• VisAD

Please send email to vis5dplus@ucar.edu or visad@unidata.ucar.edu if you have any questions or problems with either Vis5D or VisAD.
