AIRS Volumetric Cloud Data with Gradient Background (Fly In)

Visualizations by Greg Shirah Released on April 18, 2002
This visualization shows Aqua/AIRS simulated volumetric cloud data for September 13, 1999. The data was created using the Finite Volume Community Climate Model (FVCCM). Temperature and cloud data sets were match rendered for cross dissolves in post production. This visualization was created as a part of the Aqua prelaunch package.
