World Wind is a realistic simulation about the Earth. You can zoom in, watch hurricanes move, look at the Grand Canyon. You can also change the time of Earth (December: Ice at poles, July: Little Ice at Poles)
Created by NASA

Cool! Downloading right now!
:'( How come when I go back in time... The clouds don't move? I wanted to see the hurrricane season of 2005.
-
Th clouds wont move cause, they don't know the cloud movement in the future.
Go to "Scientific Visualization Studio"
Go to "Oceans"
Go to any Hurricane.
It takes time to load the images, like the fire on Africa in 2002, 365 days!
-
No in 2005.
-
Mine was Katrina Hurricane, it formed when two small hurricane collided. The Katrina went to the Carribian Sea ( damaging Cuba, Florida, Lousiana, Georgia, Mississipi, Alabama} Then went to Gulf of Mexico, and went to East-Southern United States...
-
Well don't ask me, Im not the creator :P
Oh and Katrina was a hurricane in 2005 ~_~
-
World wind fails on my virtual pc.
-
as i seen that error message last late June 2009. on my virtual pc.
-
I want to see developed weather in the future. I want to have a sim that I can make hurricanes. :(
Do you know anything like that?
-
But there is a hurricane applet: http://itg1.meteor.wisc.edu/wxwise/hurr/hurr.html
-
Here is a screenshot of my house. :D
Huntington Beach, California.
-
They use google earth for their urban area pictures.
-
I want it to be a globe, and I want to be able to place storms and change temperatures and humidity.
-
Here is a screenshot of my house. :D
Huntington Beach, California.
You live in California!?
Cool, I live in Sacrament, California!!! ;D ;D
-
But GTA San Andreas seems to be near Sacramento.
-
Here is a screenshot of my house. :D
Huntington Beach, California.
You live in California!?
Cool, I live in Sacrament, California!!! ;D ;D
I live in Pheonix, AZ

That's weird did you press space on the first line or does it do that?
T
T
Ok you pressed space.
-
And hbmp88 too! >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
Neutronstar having quad-posting.
-
Really worst thing.
-
No... You are quad posting. And I just told you to stop and you keep spamming! >:(
-
you are oct posting. ??? >:(
-
I didn't post 8 times in a row.
-
your posting 15 posts every day.
-
so, that's not spamming when someone posts between you in the same topic.
-
you have the same post on every topic
-
no i don't.
-
but you say that i ban NeutronStar. i will become a moderator.
-
but you say that i ban NeutronStar. i will become a moderator.
Ohh... I believe that. You... a moderator! roflmaoqxz!!!!!!
-
Dan dixon may go online now.
-
I, like FGFG DECLARE THIS TOPIC (UNOFFICALLY) CLOSED
Unless, you talk about World Wind.
-
Close that topic now.
-
No not closed. Just move on the ARGUMENT TOPIC
-
World Wind is cool! But the clouds don't move.
-
Move now
-
I hate it when the clouds don't move!
-
Wait for the next update to come.
-
I don't know when they wil,l update. But I'm sure theres a way to get clouds moving...
-
Maybe 2009-2010.
-
Who knows.
-
Maybe the current release is 1.4
-
I know.
-
Well, I'm sure Dan will be up all night trying to clean out the forum. Sucks to be him! ;)
-
lol
-
We will wait for the next release. 1.5.
-
How come in the past the clouds still don't move?
-
That is a glitch.
-
No, it's not a glitch.
They did it because they didn't knoe the past clouds. Or / And maybe it might cause lag.
-
Or a bug
-
My hurricane won't work. Can someone please tell me how to get storms?
-
OK I got storm simulations running. If anybody is having problems just say something. This is Hurricane Katrina. Did anyone else get the simulations running?
-
How do you get it running?
-
It depends if you want just pictures, or actual simulations. :-\ But I can do both! ;D
-
simulations
-
Go to SVS icon. It's orange and purple. Click on it. Select something and download it. As soon as it is done press play and try to find it playing somewhere on the globe.
-
Ok, thanks ;D
-
Using World Winds I discovered a strange landmark in the middle of the Sahara. When I went back to take a smaller picture it was gone. So I was forced to edit the two I had so here they are. One is blue to help bring out the dimensions, because the original color wasn't very clear.
If the uploader is full. I will try to upload it another day, but I won't be on for a while.
-
Why won't you be on for a while? Are you going on vaca? Oh, yeah, i think dan can fix the uploader full problem.
-
I'm just going to family. My mom and sister are out of town and my dad works all day. It for like five days.
The pictures I've taken are so cool I want to share them now! >:( :'(
-
Dang. :(
-
Really. it did not work on my virtual pc. because the directx of that. :(
-
OK here is one, since it takes forever to upload.
-
Hopefully the blue will help you see the depth, wich makes it even more of a wonder.
-
Where is this?
-
Somewhere in the Sahara. I tried to find it again but I couldn't after like 30 minutes.
-
How did you find it? By accidet?
-
Yep ;)
-
Sahara is a desert in North Africa. It is know to be the largest desert.
-
I didn't ask what it was, I knew that btw.
-
Just tell me what you think it is. It doesn't look like a crater, since it's not to deep. It's to big to be a salt mine(there are many of these in Africa). I noticed a small hill at the center. But realize this picture was taken from almost 100km up.
-
It probably started out as dunes, and then wind eroded down into the bedrock, then, just make it deeper.
-
Can you provide coordinates? We could find it on Google Earth too (if it is high resolution).
Why not a crater? Maybe not a great asteroid, but the shape is so circular.
Maybe could it be an ancient lake, or a volcano?
-
Volcano 0.01 %
Crater 4.99%
Lake 5%
Dune cayon thing 90%
-
An island surrounded by water 1% :P
-
Sorry the screenshot cut out the coordinates and most likely it will be easier to find on world winds(better with landmasses)
-
Go to Programs and find NASA folder and youll see the Moon, Mars, and Venus.
-
I went to Mars, and did this landscape thingy :P
-
Color by Elevation? :P
-
Where is Olympus Mons?!
-
Other side?
-
A few degrees hidden on the left. Behind the other 3 volcanos
-
I've been waiting all hurricane season to post this! It's a live view of Hurricane Bill over the Atlantic. Hopefully it stays offshore! :)
-
How did you did that? I did Hurricane Katrina but no other hurricane :P
-
Hello its happening right now! Let me take another screenshot. (this isn't a sim, its the real thing!) ;D
-
BTW you have to turn on the Global Clouds setting. It actually got bigger!
-
UPDATE
-
UPDATE
Well when it hit Florida it was a tropical storm. Actually I'm not even sure if it ever was a hurricane. And you don't have to make an update every two hours. More like every day.
-
gosh... :'(
-
Thanks and stop being kind of harsh hbmp :P
-
I wasn't trying to be harsh just telling you so the updater doesn't overflow like before. :-\
-
It doesnt move... but still cool.
-
Ooooohhh... I always love hurricanes that look like this...
Aww... Uploader full...
-
Since the uploader was full last time I think I'll make up for it now. This is the most amazing hurricane I've ever witnessed in my entire life. Even better that I took a live picture of it! It's gotten so weak in cold New England that its unwinding itself. :D I'm planning to make a slide show of these day-to-day log.
-
Here's the awesome one I was trying to post earlier...
-
No one posted for Venus... So here you go!

Since Hur. Bill is heading North, its weakening due to the cold tempature.... I want to see more hurricanes.

Southern winds make clouds near Antarctica look cool.
-
So far north! They say it may continue all the way to Europe! In this pic its flooding Nova Scotia.
-

Wow your right! I saw the weird circle thingy on Planet Earth. They said the winds unveil hidden strange formations.
-
Wow. :o
-
HAHAHA!!! I was right!
*does the "I'm right, uh hu" dance*
-
* face palm * lol
-
Is this it?
-
Is this it?
LOL!!!! Here are the coordinates...
-
No, he said face palm.
-
No, I meant another definition......... ah nvm.
-
Aw, Hur. Bill is gone.
But we do have Tropical Storm Danny!
-
Here is a video to find the weird formation and my picture of the coordinates were a few posts ago just in case if you didn't see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVbpQM4aK7k (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVbpQM4aK7k)
the sound is saturns radio waves.
-
Aw, Hur. Bill is gone.
But we do have Tropical Storm Danny!
That's invest 92 isnt it?
-
Yes. If I recall, that's where 92 was.
-
Hurricane Ignacio! (Pacific off th coast of Baja)
Hilda is the smaller one to the east south east.
-
Is it just me or...... is it heading for California!?
-
If you've ever gone to the beach. The water is 69 degrees. That's too cold for hurricanes, you might get a TD, that is easy. Last remnat we got was Javier. Winds were 30 mph (TD) I went outside, and it was cool.
-
It will soon lose its tropical features and turn into a rain storm. I live in Southern California they say it will just make big waves and maybe a little rain.
-
I want it to be a globe, and I want to be able to place storms and change temperatures and humidity.
Me too.
-
I want to see developed weather in the future. I want to have a sim that I can make hurricanes. :(
Do you know anything like that?
That would be SOO awesome
-
Well anyways, I will be showing the hurricane that is off coast of Hawaii.
-
Hilda is the smaller one to the east south east.

HILDA!
hbmp88 I know a hurricane thing!

Lol I know how hard things like that are to make. Good job. You should really learn to make harder things each time so that one day it can be like US !!! ;D
-
I updated it.
Now you can CHOOSE storms , to put WHEN. Not WHERE. Soon, there will be 10 preset storms
2 hurricanes, 5 tropical stroms, and 3 tropical depression/invests
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/atomic7732/665590
-
Nice! :)
-
Categroy 5 hurricane Jimena off the coast of Baja.
I thought it was Ignacio
-
I went to the beach yesterday!!! The waves were HUGE :o. I live in Southern California.
Ehhhh.... sunburn... :'( :P
-
OH EM GEE!!
-
No offense, but ummm... You are kinda acting, err.. girly. Like SUperNova said. iCarly is ok but an anime cartoon thing of them, another, and OMG especially when spelt oh em gee, is a bit girl. \
Again, no offense.
-
Ye.

-
Category 3 hurricane Jimena, YAY WE'RE GONNA GET RAIN!!!!
-
It was pretty hot here today hopefully the ocean didn't warm up and we don't get more than rain. :-X
-
It's too cold anyway.
What you don't realizde its going north, not northwest.
-
Ok, heres a tropical storm, Erika, near the Carribean Isles.
-
Erika is now weakening.
-
Really? Lemme check...
-
I checked.
-
There was a rain and thunderstorm this morning. Possible hurricane?
Nevermind. Just a thundercloud.
-
Typhoon Parma (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/summary/wnp/s/200917.html.en), and Super Typhoon Melor (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/summary/wnp/s/200918.html.en).
-
Tropical Storm Grace, an "odd place for a storm".
-
This is wierd...
BIG mix up
I would put a WW image, but, WW won't load the satellite image.
-
Wow today was a hard rainy day. With winds going at SSE.
-
hahaha... Super Typhoon Melor remnants.
-
Mine was Katrina Hurricane, it formed when two small hurricane collided. The Katrina went to the Carribian Sea ( damaging Cuba, Florida, Lousiana, Georgia, Mississipi, Alabama} Then went to Gulf of Mexico, and went to East-Southern United States...

when i download it it just shows me files i dont get to do anything
you have to put it in the NASA folder (i.e. C:/Program Files (x86)/NASA/Add-ons
and I think the .xml in C:/Program Files (x86)/NASA/Config(ure)
