fvGCM Climate Model and Hurricane Ivan Track

This animation shows the track of hurricane Ivan, in yellow, and a track in green showing the path of Ivan as predicted by the fvGCM model. The animation follows Ivan from far out in the eastern Atlantic, all the way to land fall in southern Alabama. The white cloud-like features show the cloud cover and total moisture calculated by the model and help to illustrate wind motion.

An animation showing the path of Hurricane Ivan and the path predicted by the fvGCM model.    An animation showing the path of Hurricane Ivan and the path predicted by the fvGCM model.

A view of the full Earth, showing the global nature of the fvGCM model.  The tracks of Ivan and the fvGCM model in the Gulf of Mexico can be seen most clearly in the full size image.    A view of the full Earth, showing the global nature of the fvGCM model.
