Years ago I saw a video of a simulated fly-by of the California coast.

The data from satellites was used to construct the video of what
someone in a space shuttle or airplane would see if the thing
flew around the coast. The number-crunching was done on a super
computer, and then the data was transferred to video-tape.

Is the pgm available for others to use? IOW, was it done with
NSF money and thus PD?

Do such pgms exist for other computers? 

Thank you.
