Abstract
Leveraging the human auditory system, sonification can be used as
an educational tool for non-experts to engage with data in a different
mode than visualization. Without oversimplifying the data, this
project presents a sonification tool for exploring NO₂ and O₃ data
from the BErkeley High Resolution (BEHR) tropospheric NO₂
and OMO3PR ozone profile datasets. By allowing the listener control
over the data-to-sound mapping and synthesis parameters, one
can experience and learn about the interplay between NO₂ tVCDs
and O₃ concentrations. Furthermore, interannual trends can be
perceived across different types of locations.
