LibGuides: Atmospheric Sciences: Multimedia

Use this page to find different multimedia resources. It includes atmospheric sciences-specific streaming videos and image repositories. Also find interactive online content for learning more about the geosciences.

Interactive Simulations & Tools

NOAA: Interactive Maps
Interactively explore maps that visually show data about changes in climate, weather, oceans and coasts, and more.
NOAA: Sea Level Rise Viewer
"Use this web mapping tool to visualize community-level impacts from coastal flooding or sea level rise (up to 10 feet above average high tides). Photo simulations of how future flooding might impact local landmarks are also provided, as well as data related to water depth, connectivity, flood frequency, socio-economic vulnerability, wetland loss and migration, and mapping confidence."
Climate.gov's Maps & Data
Explore interactive climate data mapping, event trackers, and a global climate dashboard. Also includes links to open datasets.
The Climate Explorer
The U.S. climate Resilience Toolkit's Climate Explore lets you "explore how temperature, precipitation, and related climate variables are projected to change through 2100 in every county/borough in the U.S."
HHMI BioInteractive Classroom Resources
Explore virtual labs, interactive videos, and 3D models. Find materials on the atmosphere, climate, climate change, and more. Philanthropic organization HHMI's BioInteractive materials can be for educational purposes.
LabXchange
Find simulations, case studies, videos, interactive resources, and more for free. Try searching by subject area or by specific topics (e.g. "weather"). From Harvard.
Boston University Physics Simulations
Find online simulations relating to climate change. Simulations include: vehicle emissions, historical energy use, and USA electricity map.
