(meteorobs) data visualisation



Hi

Please excuse me if I've got this all mixed up in my head.

This is about the radio meteor data that is displayed in the format used by
the University of Ghent
(http://allserv.rug.acdot be/~pdegroot/meteor/mc1_99.html) and others in the
NASA Global-MS-Net.

These "graphs" are visualisation of the data collected and as such the
actual data would be kept with the correct time/date info probably
expressed in UTC. Yes, I know that the UTC approach allows data to be
shared around the world and I'm only talking about the visualisation of
such data.

I know that it may make it harder to find a particular time/day cell
initially but I was wondering if this data could not also be visualised as
"meteor day". As the Uni of Ghent is presumably not far in "time" from 0
UTC the data presented in their case fits a normal solar day more closely.
You can see the around 6pm lull in meteor activity quite plainly.

What I was wondering is what it would look like when using the local 6pm as
"midnight". This wouild allow the "bits" from the previous UTC day to group
more visually rather than be chopped off visually as it now is.

just a thought
Bruce
