Abstract
This project is working to develop reproducible and inspiring images and animations from the E3SM Water Cycle simulations using open source software. As part of the development of the project deliverables, using Paraview, we explore colormaps that are proven to be intuitive and lend themselves to better scientific interpretations. Additionally, we explore atmospheric variables associated with the Water Cycle and the different features (e.g., hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, orographic precipitation) visible within these fields. Presented here are images from a single time-step of regridded monthly output of the the E3SM v1 High Resolution Water Cycle Simulations (theta.20180906.branch_noCNT.A_WCYCL1950S_CMIP6_HR.ne120_oRRS18v3_ICG simulation). We request that the community provide feedback on the visualizations.
