Simulating the Transport of Aerosols with GEOS-5 • Media Links     (See main article.)

Updated March 2013

The GMAO has conducted a two-year-long high resolution simulation with GEOS-5, including aerosol transport by integrating GOCART with GEOS-5. Since the initial release of the "Paint by Particle" animation from this simulation in May of 2012 (Animation 1 in the main article), it and other results of this GEOS-5 simulation have appeared in several thousand news or science articles, blogs, and social network postings. The following are a handful of places where these animations have been featured or mentioned.
