Model of Clouds during Hurricane Isabel, 2003 (WMS)

Visualizations by Eric Sokolowsky Released on January 12, 2005
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.
