DESCRIPTION

A three-minute animation of the results of a soil hydrology simulation. Produced for the Department of Meteorology and the Earth System Science Center, College of Earth and Mineral Science. The animations presented illustrate predicted volumetric soil

VISUALIZATION CREDITS
Programming and Animation: Ray Masters
Software: IBM Data Explorer, Custom Fortran Data Translator
Hardware: IBM RS6000 Model 560

The animation was initially shown at the American Meteorological Society's "Tenth Conference on Numerical Weather Prediction", July 18-22, 1994, Portland, Oregon.
