Three different reolution runs are shown as the camera moves in towards the East coast:
1. 36 km per grid cell every hour covering most of the northern hemisphere (volume size: 415x270x27)
2. 12 km per grid cell every hour covering central North America (volume size: 438x300x27)
3. 4 km per grid cell every 5 minutes covering the US East coast (volume size: 300x300x27)

Researchers tracked the storm from the ground, air and space, but observations can't reveal all of a storm's inner workings. So models are used to explore the physical processes associated with storm formation, structure and intensification. Calculations are performed within a virtual cube of the atmosphere, creating a 3D version of the storm. Details revealed could help forecasters more accurately predict the path and intensity of hurricanes. This NASA visualization merges global and regional data into a high-resolution weather model to recreate Hurricane Isabel. Watch the simulated features of the storm, from spinning winds and spiral cloud bands, to a realistic eye-like center. || ", "release_date": "2012-07-05T00:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:52:57.780775-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 475068, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011000/a011009/Isabel_CoverImage2_1024x576.jpg", "filename": "Isabel_CoverImage2_1024x576.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "A computer simulation exposes the turbulent anatomy of a Category 2 hurricane.", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } } ], "sources": [], "products": [], "newer_versions": [], "older_versions": [], "alternate_versions": [] }
