Atmospherics/Weather works: A multi-channel storm sonification project
Abstract
Atmospherics/Weather Works is an interdisciplinary project in the sonification of storms and other meteorological events generated directly from data produced by a highly detailed and physically accurate model of weather systems used for research and forecasting. This paper discusses the background, conception, and execution of a series of sonifications of a historical hurricane and winter snowstorm that resulted in several performances, stereo recordings, a public multi-channel spatialized sound installation, and an online interactive sound listening environment.
