Global winds. Supercomputer simulation of global winds, produced using NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System-5 (GEOS-5), and shown on a cylindrical projection of the Earth's surface. Surface winds are shown in white (0 to 40 metres per second) as well as trace features including Atlantic and Pacific cyclones (bright white spots). Upper-level winds are coloured by speed (0 to 175 metres per second), with red indicating faster winds. This visual is part of the simulation 'Nature Run', produced with the Discover supercomputer at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation. Image published in 2013.
