Figure 7: Control panel and visualization image using Vis5D to analyze a simulation of a tornadic thunderstorm. The image on the right shows several different variables. The gray isosurface is the cloud rainwater, the vertical contour slice shows the updraft, the bottom blue image is the surface temperature, and the tubular yellow isosurface represents the tornado that extends from the surface upward into the cloud.
