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 as contour plots on global or regional maps.
Currently, QuickView only supports the cubed-sphere meshes
used by the atmosphere component of the
Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM),
i.e., the ne*np4 GLL grids and the ne*pg2 "physics" grids,
but extensions to other meshes 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.
- 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*np4andne*pg2grids.

QuickView is developed by Kitware, Inc. in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's ASCR and BER programs via SciDAC.
