Meteorological Visualisations

The analysis and visualisation of data in an intuitive manner are vital to understanding and communicating information in a meaningful way. It is easy to become overwhelmed with the volume of meteorological data available nowdays. Methods to summarise and visualise data are crucial to extract important pieces of information to gain the maximum benefit from this wealth of data.

IDL and Meteorology

IDL (Interactive Data Language) is an ideal software for data analysis, visualisation, and cross-platform application development. It has proved to be a very useful tool in the transformation, analysis and presentation of meteorological data. IDL also enables the development of GUI-based applications to deliver this functionality interactively, or just simply run the data processing in the background.
