Hurricane Bonnie Dissolving 'Crystal Cathedral'

Visualizations by Tom Bridgman Released on September 5, 2000

A fly in to a set of nested 3D isosurfaces of constant precipitation density for Hurricane Bonnie, measured by TRMM on August 22, 1998. The isosurfaces a removed one-by-one until only the highest density surface remains, then the surfaces are restored in reverse order.
