This paper will present some examples of data visualization in the field of atmospheric science. It is essentially important to visualize the spatial feature of distribution of atmospheric compositions such as ozone, aerosol, and so on for the research of global environmental problems. We have developed some visualization tools to analyze various kinds of satellite data and applied them for the analysis of ozone destruction in the stratosphere. An example of visualization of the Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) over the Arctic observed with a satellite sensor will be presented. The Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS) observed many PSC events during the winter of 1997, when there was a significant decrease in Arctic ozone. More than a hundred PSC profiles were identified over the Arctic during the period.
