Hurricane Isabel Model: Precipitable Water
The NASA finite-volume General Circulation Model (fvGCM) was used to predict the path of hurricane Isabel, starting from a known initial state. The predicted path is compared to the actual path taken by the hurricane.

An animation showing the actual track of hurricane Isabel, in yellow, and the track predicted by the FVGCM model, in green.    An animation showing the actual track of hurricane Isabel, in yellow, and the track predicted by the FVGCM model, in green.
