Model of Clouds during Hurricane Isabel, 2003 (WMS)
The NASA finite-volume General Circulation Model (fvGCM) is used to produce a high-resolution weather prediction system. This model has an increased accuracy of predicting the strength and location of hurricanes over other prediction methods. Several variables are predicted, including cloud cover and precipitable water in the atmosphere. Data from Hurricane Isabel was used to validate the fvGCM model.
This animation shows the prediction of cloud cover during Hurricane Isabel made by NASAs fvGCM model.
This product is available through our Web Map Service.
