The myriad of weather and climate data available today makes even more necessary to find the best way to display the information in a meaningful way so that the communication is effective. This project explore different approaches to create visualizations from weather and climate data.

On going initiatives include:

  • Monitoring weather data from UOH meteorological station (UOHmet)
  • Monitoring disdrometer data at ARO in Universidad de Concepción (visor-parsivel)
  • Display rainfall data in a cyclical way (Sala de Lluvias)
  • Building 3D visualizations with Paraview

Future ideas to be addressed by UOH students include:

  • Improve monitoring data of UOHmet
  • Create interactive visualization for UOHmet
  • Animate 3D or 4D data from ERA5 reanalysis in Paraview
  • Explore new and creative ways to visualize weather and climate data
