An interactive system for remote sensing meteorological data processing

Abstract

An interactive system is developed for efficient processing of remote sensing meteorological data, which focuses on scientific visualization of radar reflectivity intensity data and compression of satellite cloud picture. Using this interactive system, reflectivity intensity numerical data with vast size observed by radar can be visualized in color maps almost at real-time, and satellite cloud pictures can be compressed by fractal image compression, which can help us to draw meaningful weather information out of the numerical data conveniently, and transmit a satellite cloud picture quickly.
