Atmospheric Modelling in Eonfusion
Researchers at the CSIRO (Australia) have used Eonfusion to simultaneously visualize output from the NCEP atmospheric GFS model and a Lagrangian particle tracking model. The aim of this research is to visualize how moisture in the atmosphere moves through space in time. In this example, a raster curtain shows relative humidity in the atmosphere, while a second raster curtain shows modelled moisture particles .
The data are tracked and visualized for a period of ten days following a weather event to understand the atmospheric conditions leading to that event. This video captured in Eonfusion shows particles colour coded with temperature, while line thickness indicates the level of moisture as particles move through the atmosphere. A time series of raster satellite images is also visible in the scene to provide geographical context.
The methods used in Eonfusion in this example can also be directly applied to ocean particle analysis and models.
