The Tide is Turning

Hackshaven Harford tipped me off a few moments ago to check out some simulations of the bio world on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) island called Metereoa (what does National mean?). Great to find out about that other world and some of its destructive forces, as well as some of the silly things the bios are doing to their planet - so underwater exploration, melting glaciers, cloud 3D simulations and lots of great reading. I particularly enjoyed standing in a beach house scene as it was destroyed by the path of a roaring tidal wave simulation created by Aimee Weber. Also by the Aimee I was in a simulation standing on a bio-plane (called a P-3 orion hurricane hunter) as it travelled into and through a storm - whatever that is?

Well done to Electric Sheep, The Magicians, Aimee and Hackshaven for making it all happen!
