Classification: G01W

Abstract:
A method of processing weather information, comprising:(a) receiving a plurality of NEXRAD attributes corresponding to a storm and storing said plurality of NEXRAD attributes in memory, wherein the plurality of NEXRAD attributes include a storm displacement from a known NEXRAD radar location; (b) deriving a storm position in XYZ coordinates in a three-dimensional coordinate space from a first selected group of the plurality of stored NEXRAD attributes by converting the known NEXRAD radar location into radar location coordinates in the three-dimensional coordinate space and deriving the storm position in the three-dimensional coordinate space from the radar location coordinates and the storm displacement; (c) determining a projected storm path in the three-dimensional coordinate space using the derived storm position and a second selected group of the plurality of stored NEXRAD attributes; and (d) displaying a graphical representation of the projected storm path.
