Troposphere.

A screen dump of an application to study global volumetric temperature and wind velocity data, which are warped into a set of concentric spherical shells, and registered with a topographic globe in an earth-centered, 3d coordinate system. The temperature data are shown as pseudo-color and opacity-mapped isosurfaces. The wind data are shown as streamlines, which are pseudo-colored by horizontal speed.

The data are courtesy of NASA/GSFC, Greenbelt, MD.
