fvGCM Climate Model and Hurricane Ivan Global View

Visualizations by James W. Williams Released on November 8, 2004

This animation illustrates the output of the fvGCM atmospheric model, during the five day period just prior to the landfall of hurricane Ivan. The white cloud-like features show the cloud cover and total moisture calculated by the model and help to illustrate wind motion.

An image illustrating the global nature of the fvGCM model. The white cloud-like features show the cloud cover and total moisture calculated by the model and help to illustrate wind motion. The modeled hurricane Ivan is visible in the center of the image.
