Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de prévision météorologique permettant d'afficher des représentations graphiques tridimensionnelles dynamiques à réalisme photographique, et en temps réel, de conditions météorologiques, ces représentations étant créées à partir de données météorologiques (15) combinées avec des données géographiques et topographiques. Des données géographiques et topographiques sont récupérées, numérisées et traitées en vue de produire une image volumétrique simulée en trois dimensions, puis sont stockées en mémoire en vue d'une récupération ultérieure. On obtient des données météorologiques, notamment des données de précipitation, de nébulosité, de bas et de sommet de formations nuageuses, de pouvoir réfléchissant et de vitesse de gouttes de pluie en temps réel à partir d'installations de radar Doppler (16) en bande C ou en bande K, ou de radar non Doppler en bande K ou en bande X. Les données combinées sont affichées en tant que représentation (21) graphique tridimensionnelle à réalisme photographique de conditions météorologiques, à partir d'un point d'observation sélectif et correspondant à une zone géographique sélectionnée. La représentation graphique peut être modifiée en vue de produire un effet visuel de mouvement dans un système météorologique, pour permettre à un utilisateur de visualiser les effets du système météorologique à divers emplacements géographiques.
