Climate models play a significant role in the understanding of climate change, and the effective presentation and interpretation of their results is important for both the scientific community and the general public. In the case of the latter audience—which has become increasingly concerned with the implications of climate change for society—there is a requirement for visualizations which are compelling and engaging. We describe the use of ParaView, a well-established visualization application, to produce images and animations of results from a large set of modeling experiments, and their use in the promulgation of climate research results. Visualization can also make useful contributions to development, particularly for complex large-scale applications such as climate models. We present early results from the construction of a next-generation climate model which has been designed for use on exascale compute platforms, and show how visualization has helped in the development process, particularly with regard to higher model resolutions and novel data representations.

气候模型开发和结果的动态 3D 可视化

气候模型在理解气候变化方面发挥着重要作用，其结果的有效呈现和解释对科学界和公众都很重要。对于后一种受众——他们越来越关注气候变化对社会的影响——他们需要引人注目且引人入胜的可视化。我们描述了 ParaView 的使用，这是一个完善的可视化应用程序，从大量建模实验中生成结果的图像和动画，以及它们在传播气候研究结果中的使用。可视化还可以为开发做出有益的贡献，特别是对于气候模型等复杂的大规模应用。
