This is a short tutorial showing how to use VAPOR to visualize WRF-ARW output data.
This is based on a WRF-ARW simulation of Hurricane Katrina on August 29-31, 2005. The data follows Katrina, starting a few hours before landfall, illustrating the initial impact and the subsequent dissipation after Katrina moves northward. You will need 10 or 20 hourly time-steps of the wrf output files in order to run through this tutorial. The same techniques can be used to visualize any time-varying WRF-ARW dataset.
Follow the steps in the tutorial to create 3D visualizations and animations of the data. Image display, volume rendering, flow integration, and data probing are illustrated.
