Connecting the Dots: Visualizing Science

Working with scientists, visual artists bring to light the nuances hidden in huge data.

Images from the DOE’s E3SM global climate model showing atmospheric ‘rivers’ carrying moisture from lower latitudes to the very far north arctic.  Several relevant model components are shown including wind, ocean temperature and sea-ice coverage.
