[NASA] Paper on Creating Friendly Color Maps for Color Vision Deficiency Accepted for Publication

[SpaceMan 0]

Timothy Lang (ST11) is a co-author on an article titled “Effective Visualization of Radar Data for Users Impacted by ****** Vision Deficiency”, which was recently accepted for publication in Bulletin of the ********* Meteorological Society. The article is led by Zachary Sherman of Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and it is an outgrowth of a long-standing collaboration on open science between ANL, MSFC, and other institutions that predates NASA Science Policy Directive (SPD) 41a and the Transform to Open Science (TOPS) campaign. ****** Vision Deficiency (CVD) affects up to 8% of genetic males and 0.5% of genetic females, and traditional ****** maps used in radar meteorology and other Earth sciences often lack perceptual accuracy and clarity when viewed by those affected by CVD. The article reviews new ****** maps that convey useful and clear scientific information whether viewed by those with normal ****** perception or those with CVD. These ****** maps are available in open-source repositories like cmweather (

). The article and the open-source CVD-friendly ****** maps are excellent examples of the greater inclusivity fostered when open science is practiced.
