Movie ID Title
This animation shows a flat map version of the southern polar vortex at 550 degrees Kelvin during part of 2004. 3098 Polar Vortex (WMS)
In the case of low solar wind pressure, the sunward side of the ionosphere is thick (the red region) and some of the atmosphere can be seen trailing off behind the planet. 2962 Computer Simulations of the Martian Atmosphere Interacting with the Solar Wind
The first module, Geography, deals briefly with the effect that geography has on global weather patterns and climate. 77 Cycles of the Atmosphere: Modules 1-3
This is the standard definition version of the Earth's Atmosphere Layers - Fly Through animation MPEG. 10014 Earth's Atmosphere Layers
Traveling Dust Animation  -  The dust comes every year during northern Africa's dry season, when storm activity in the Sahara Desert and Sahel generate clouds of dust.  The dust originating from fine particles in the arid topsoil is transported into the atmosphere by winds and may be carried in excess of 10,000 feet high into the atmosphere by easterly trade winds. Typically, it takes one to two weeks for the dust clouds to cross the Atlantic Ocean and reach the continental United States..
This animation illustrates microbes hitching  rides across the Atlantic in the highly irregular nooks and crannies  found in the surfaces of dust particles and how they are transported  across the Atlantic Ocean. 10008 Microbes Hitch Ride on African Dust

This is the standard definition version of the Carbon Cycle Land animation MPEG. 10006 Carbon Cycle
This is the standard definition version of the Arctic Vortex animation MPEG. 10005 Arctic Vortex
This is the standard definition version of the Soot Effects Rainfall animation MPEG. 10003 Soot Effects Rainfall
