Visualization of convective cloud system

Convective System Simulation using the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble

Three-dimensional visualization of a simulated convective cloud system that occurred on February 23,1999 over Amazonia in western Brazil. The simulation was made using the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble model with improved cloud microphysics. The visualization shows a rendering of the modeled cloud field, which consists of the sum of the simulated cloud water and cloud ice.
