GENERAL INFORMATION

Title:	Towers in the Tempest
Resource ID:	10491
URL:	http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a000000/a003400/a003413/index.html
Resource Description:	'Towers in the Tempest' is a 4.5 minute narrated animation that explains recent scientific insights into how hurricanes intensify. This intensification can be caused by a phenomenon called a 'hot tower'. For the first time, research meteorologists have run complex simulations using a very fine temporal resolution of 3 minutes. Combining this simulation data with satellite observations enables detailed study of 'hot towers'. The science of 'hot towers' is described using: observed hurricane data from a satellite, descriptive illustrations, and volumetric visualizations of simulation data.
