Title:
- Study of a Numerically Modeled Severe Storm
Company / Institution / Agency:
- National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)
Description:
The understanding of severe storms begins by identifying pre-storm conditions. Using this initial environment, a thunderstorm’s complexity is modeled with a set of mathematical equations. These equations are solved on a supercomputer, then visualization techniques are employed to simulate the air flow and other features that exist during a storm’s lifetime.
