GEOS-5 Nature Run

1080p version of the Nature Run hyperwall show. Since hyperwall resolutions are usually much higher than HDTV, hurricane labels and tracks have been enlarged for better viewing on HDTV screens.

2 meter temperature above sea level colorbar. Temperature units in Celsius.

The original frames used for the 3x3 hyperwall show. Note: Any of these frames should be useable as print resolution stills.

The large animation above is diced-up into smaller tiles that can be played on the hyperwall. Each tile is named according to a standard spreadsheet convention with a1 at the upper left and c3 at the lower right. This image illustrates this naming convention used in the diced-up frame sets below.
