Visual Weather

Visual Weather provides unparalleled visualisation options that allow to display any data in your preferred way, overlay it with other data and zoom into any part of the world.

• All data can be joined in a single display
• Comfy interface for customising the visualisation with immediate effect
• Visualisations can be adapted according to available data and the needs of each customer
• Specified data and visualisation combo can be saved as a preset for fast and easy access

Interactive tools to interrogate the data that help forecasters to build a detailed understanding of the weather story. 

• Analyze the observations and verify the model data
• Utilize thermodiagrams to examine the vertical structure of the atmosphere
• Track and predict the movement of weather phenomena
• Use meteograms to evaluate weather trends for any selected location
• Modify the points of a cross-section to track weather along flight routes

Reliability, ease of use, speed and efficiency – Visual Weather has all the essentials that aviation meteorology requires. The tools remove all the difficulties that you may encounter in issuing aviation products:

• Convenient drawing of significant weather charts
• Easy graphical creation of SIGMETs
• Syntax checking TAFs and other standard messages
• TAF, SIGMET and AIRMET output in IWXXM
• Monitoring TAFs against observations
• Keeping track of amendments and issued warnings

In today's interconnected world, meteorology is not an isolated field but integrated with other systems, often outside the realm of traditional meteorology. Visual Weather enables users to share a broad range of weather data and visualisations through OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) compliant web services. Customised meteorological maps created in Visual Weather can be published via the OGC Web Map Service (WMS) protocol. Visual Weather also supports the publication of data through the OGC Environmental Data Retrieval (EDR) protocol, as well as the older WCS and WFS standards.

Furthermore, Visual Weather can utilise OGC services as data providers, enhancing your own data. It includes a WMS client data layer, and EDR or WCS services can be seamlessly integrated into Visual Weather’s grid processing engine, functioning just like traditional NWP, satellite, or radar data.

Visual Weather has a portfolio of features and functionalities as it was developed to fulfil the different needs of forecasters, scientists, data managers and it can be used by meteorological offices, aviation authorities or private companies or educational institutions. 

• Module-based approach to tailor the software to your specific needs and provide the most cost-effective solution for your institution 
• A system that can grow together with your needs
• Extensible by integrating your custom plugins

Visual Weather supports most of meteorological standard formats off the shelf, and its extensibility allows to integrate all your weather data. State-of-the-art technologies ensure that the meteorological services are able to cope with the expanding volume of meteorological data. 

• Receive, store and process data from a wide range of data sources 
• Produce output in multiple formats and deliver it in multiple ways
• Support for custom formats through  integration interface
• Handling large data volumes, such as high-resolution models, multiple ensemble datasets, next-generation satellites

Deploy Visual Weather according to the needs of your service.  

• Perfectly scalable architecture allows you to deploy the system in a way that matches your structure  
• Support for thin-client solutions (Citrix, ThinLinc, MobaXterm) to permit working from home or remote offices
• The system runs on a variety of platforms (Linux, Windows)
• We can assist you with setting up the operational environment, or Visual Weather can adapt to your existing structure seamlessly
