Info
titleMain webpage

This is the Met.3D open documentation. See the Met.3D main webpage for more information, for news and for access to source and binary distributions of the software.

Met.3D is an open-source visualisation tool for interactive, three-dimensional visualisation of numerical ensemble weather predictions and similar numerical atmospheric model datasets. The tool is implemented in C++ and OpenGL 4 and runs on standard commodity hardware. Its only “special” requirement is an OpenGL 4.3 capable graphics card.

Info
titleOpen-source

Met.3D is open-source, and available on Gitlab. The software is licensed under the GNU General Public License, Version 3.

Met.3D currently runs under Linux. It has originally been designed for weather forecasting during atmospheric research field campaigns, however, is not restricted to this application. Besides being used as a visualisation tool, Met.3D is intended to serve as a framework to implement and evaluate new 3D and ensemble visualisation techniques for the atmospheric sciences.

Met.3D is currently developed within the Visual Data Analysis Group at the Regional Computing Center, Universität Hamburg, Germany. We hope you find the tool useful for your work, too. Please let us know about your experiences.
