In early August the camera looks towards the North pole showing the swirling winds caused by the Coriolis effect; then the camera moves down towards Africa which is the birthplace of many tropical storms; finally, the camera moves across the Atlantic as many of the storms form during 2005 ending with Hurricane Katrina. This visualization was created in support of demonstrations given at the Supercomputing 2007 Conference.    GEOS-5 model run during August 2005 Duration: 32.0 seconds Available formats:   1280x720 (30 fps) MPEG-4   15 MB   640x360 (30 fps) MPEG-4   6 MB   512x288 (30 fps) MPEG-1   9 MB   1280x720 (30 fps) MPEG-2   37 MB   1280x720 (30 fps) Frames   320x180     PNG           177 KB   160x80       PNG           44 KB   80x40         PNG           11 KB How to play our movies Animation Number: 3486 Animators: Greg Shirah (SVS) (Lead)   Jeff de La Beaujardiere (SVS) Completed: 2007-11-26 Data set: GEOS5-DAS Keywords: SVS >> HDTV SVS >> Model Data SVS >> iPod     Please give credit for this item to NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio Back to Top + Privacy Policy and Important Notices + Reproduction Guidelines NASA Official: SVS Contact: Curator:
