Catching Waves: A Comparison of Models (VIDEO)

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Caption

Hurricanes are seen generating big waves within the high-resolution, 25-km model (right side). The large waves show up as bright, yellow and red spots. These storms and resulting waves are almost entirely absent in the low-resolution, 100-km model (left).
