Cloud System Visualizations

• Visualization of cumulus clouds from a large-domain, high-resolution simulation of tropical oceanic deep convection (Khairoutdinov et al. 2009). The realistic structure is associated with entrainment. (Image created by Ian Glenn.)

• Time-lapse movie of entraining cumulus clouds (127 MB)

• Ice water path animation for a 30-day RCE simulation in a 512 km x 512 km domain with 1-km grid spacing.

• Cloud water path animation for a 30-day RCE simulation in a 512 km x 512 km domain with 1-km grid spacing.

• Satellite imagery of deep convection from GOES-16.

• Tracking Parcels That Are Entrained Across Cloud Tops (Takanobu Yamaguchi) (112 MB)
