NASA’s new visualization of the 2017 hurricane season

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has developed a new simulation that visualizes the atmospheric currents during the 2017 hurricane season. This simulation effectively illustrates how aerosol particles, including sand, sea salt, and smoke, are transported globally by wind currents. The visualization provides critical insights into the movement of these particles, enhancing our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and their impact on weather patterns.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of atmospheric science concepts
  • Familiarity with simulation tools used in meteorology
  • Knowledge of aerosol particle types and their effects
  • Basic grasp of hurricane dynamics and their environmental impact
NEXT STEPS
  • Research NASA's visualization tools and technologies
  • Explore the role of aerosols in climate change
  • Study the impact of hurricanes on global weather patterns
  • Learn about advanced meteorological simulation techniques
USEFUL FOR

Atmospheric scientists, meteorologists, environmental researchers, and anyone interested in the dynamics of hurricanes and aerosol transport.
