Patent ID: 8095315

Claim:
A method of generation with progressive prediction of meteorological situations around a carrier by a meteorological system, the method comprising: reading data relating to a speed of said carrier; reading data relating to cloud formations present around said carrier; calculating, by the meteorological system, for each cloud information a geographical position (PN map ) and a vector of voluminal parameters (VN map ) predicted at a given time horizon, said time horizon being dependent for each cloud formation on the speed (Vp) of said carrier and a distance (DN) separating the cloud formation from the carrier; and generating a mapping comprising a representation corresponding to the geographical position (PN map ) and to the vector of voluminal parameters (VN map ) calculated for each cloud formation, wherein, on the basis of a geographical position (PN), of the distance (DN) from the carrier, and of the advection speed vector (Va) of each cloud formation, the modulus of the speed of the carrier (Vp) is extracted from the data relating to the speed of the carrier, the position of each cloud formation (PN map ) predicted at the given time horizon is calculated using the following mathematical relation: PN map = PN + Va × DN Vp wherein, on the basis of a voluminal parameter vector (VN), of the distance (DN) from the carrier, and of the convection speed (Vc) of each cloud formation, the modulus of the speed of the carrier (Vp) is extracted from the data relating to the speed of the carrier, the vector of voluminal parameters (VN map ) predicted at the given time horizon is calculated using the following mathematical relation: VN map = VN + Vc × DN Vp .
