HWRF simulation of Hurricane Odile

**Hurricane Odile Simulation** Hurricane Odile swept across the Baja California Peninsula in September 2014 leaving behind widespread damage, flooding, and power outages. This model is a single time step from a 15-minute Hurricane Weather Research Forecast (HWRF) simulation (1251x1251x61) of Hurricane Odile shortly after it made landfall. The surface represents absolute vorticity (12e-5 s-1) colored by relative humidity. **A full animation** of this data set can be found here: https://youtu.be/OfJxWK2HoKU Computational Modeling: Mrinal Biswas (NCAR/RAL/DTC) Visualization and Postproduction: Tim Scheitlin and Matt Rehme (NCAR/CISL) This visualization was enabled by NCAR's Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL).
