This site contains visualizations and animations based on the results of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory's research. They are offered as examples of various visualization techniques and their use in conveying complex results as understandable images. A number of visualizations are also available in the form of annotated handouts. Various topics are covered, including the atmospheres of Mars, Jupiter and Earth, climate diagnostics and prediction, hurricanes, oceans, and meso-scale dynamics.
