The
Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model 5
(MM5) includes parameterization for the surface and planetary boundary
layer, and cloud microphysics. It also includes prediction of rain water/snow,
cloud water/ice and graupel, cumulus convection, and atmospheric radiation.

MM5
Cyclone
The ability to predict the behavior of large storm systems is
an important and necessary tool for helping save lives and property
that can be lost during severe weather events. The MM5 numerical model
is used here to simulate the structure and evolution of an East Asia
coastal cyclone that occurred in June of 1993. |

Typhoon
Herb
Typhoon Herb roared across northern Taiwan resulting in the loss
of many lives and damage to property due to high winds, flooding,
and landslides. Researchers are using advanced computer models and
high resolution radar data to study this complex and deadly storm
system. This visualization shows a comparison between the observed
and model data. |

Hurricane Danny
This model simulates a complete eyewall with multiple
rain bands with a structure similar to the radar analysis. |

MM5
Simulation of Hurricane Diana Genesis
This simulation marks the first time a cloud-resolving simulation
has been able to reproduce the formation of a tropical cyclone, given
only information about atmospheric conditions on a scale much larger
than that of the cyclone. |
