The animation shows early test renderings of a global computational model of Earth’s atmosphere based on data from a complex 3D simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere called Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 or GEOS-5.
“The visualization spans a little more than 7 days of simulation time which is 354 time steps. The time period was chosen because a simulated category-4 typhoon developed off the coast of China. The frames were rendered using Renderman. Brickmap volumes generated for each time step are about 2.6 Gigabytes. This short visualization referenced nearly a terabyte of brickmap files. The 7 day period is repeated several times during the course of the visualization.”
