"Advancing Meteorological Analysis through Interactive 3D Visualization: The Met.3D Open Research Software"
Visualization is an indispensable tool for weather forecasters, atmospheric researchers, and meteorology students to analyse both
numerical simulations and observational data. Despite significant advances in visualization research and computer graphics, the
adoption of new techniques within the meteorological community has been slow, with traditional 2D maps and diagrams still prevailing.
In this talk, I share our journey of introducing interactive, 3D, and feature-based visualization into meteorology. After a brief
overview of the historical evolution of 3D visualization for weather data, I present our work on Met.3D—an open-source software
developed to advance meteorological analysis. Met.3D serves as a domain-specific tool for meteorologists, bridging the gap between
established 2D techniques and innovative 3D interactive approaches. For visualization researchers, Met.3D offers a framework to
integrate novel visualization techniques in a meteorological context. Drawing on case studies from meteorological teaching, weather
forecasting, and atmospheric research, I discuss our experiences and the impact of introducing interactive 3D visualization.
I conclude by highlighting open challenges and opportunities for future collaboration between the visualization and meteorology communities.
