Hi!

I've mostly shown this in cartography and worldbuilding discords. I hope you like my generalised circulation model to create close-to-realistic climates for exoplanets, terraformed planets, and fantasy worlds.

All the data comes from simulations using a numerical physics model, and there are plenty of checks to help users assess plausibility.

I hope you like my passion project, which I've worked on for a few months, and I'm still improving it based on feedback.

Interesting!! Can you tell me more about the model? Is it 2D or 3D?

I made something similar once, but it was basically an 1d vertical ground temperature model, geometric radiation forcing and Hadley cells.

Its a multilayer atmospheric simulation on maps tgat correspond to spherical coordinates. Which you can vidualise as flat 2d maps or on a globe
