Description:


    NCSA created this visualization of Hurricane Katrina based on a simulation from Wei Wang of the National Center for Atmo- spheric Research for the Dynamic Earth full-dome production. Volume-rendered clouds show abundant moisture. Trajectories follow moist air rising into intense “hot tower” thunderstorms and trace strong winds around the eye wall.
