This screenshot from "Dynamic Earth Visualization Excerpt: Coronal Mass Ejection and Ocean/Wind Circulation," by Greg Shirah and Horace Mitchell of the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, and Tom Bridgman of Global Science & Technology Inc., was an entry in the video (screenshots) category of the 2013 Visualization Challenge, now called the Vizzies.
The video segment "Coronal Mass Ejection and Ocean/Wind Circulation" is part of a longer film called "Dynamic Earth: Exploring Earth's Climate Engine" that has played to audiences in planetaria around the world. The segment used real satellite data and six computational models to create a vision that is both beautiful and scientifically accurate.Image credit: Greg Shirah and Horace Mitchell, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center; and Tom Bridgman, Global Science & Technology Inc.
