Simulations with MUSICA (Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry Modeling)

These visualizations depict simulations created with MUSICA (Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry Modeling). The first simulation examines the Carbon Monoxide (CO) generated by a fire plume during the major fire events that occurred in the western United States in 2022. The second simulation depicts Ozone (O3) in the troposphere over a region of the western US…

Present and Future Climate in a Global Model

This visualization shows a CESM1 model comparison between a present day (1990) and a future (2090) simulation using a business-as-usual or high emissions scenario, called RCP8.5.  Clouds represent six-hourly time steps of total water vapor for one year. Technically speaking, this is the CESM1 model variable, TMQ, defined as the total precipitable water (vertically integrated)…

Droplet Dynamics in Cloud Turbulence

The study of droplet dynamics is a crucial part of cloud physics and involves investigation of each and every droplet’s properties. It is difficult to carry out such investigations using field observations. Small scale simulation is one method to study such phenomena, and visualization of these processes provides a deep and quick understanding. This work…
