GRAPHICAL DISPLAY OF RADAR AND RADAR-LIKE METEOROLOGICAL DATA

摘要

Described are a method and a system for generating a weather radar display. The method includes determining proxy meteorological radar data for a first area of a geographical region for which meteorological radar data are unavailable. The proxy data are determined from a plurality of alternative meteorological data streams each having data representative of a value of a different meteorological parameter that is not observable by radar. The method further includes determining graphical meteorological radar data for the geographical region based on the proxy meteorological radar data for the first area in the geographical region and meteorological radar data for a second area in the geographical region. Examples of graphical meteorological radar data that are generated include vertically integrated liquid, composite reflectivity and echo tops data.

1. A method for generating a weather radar display, the method comprising:
determining, at a processor module, proxy meteorological radar data for a first area of a geographical region for which meteorological radar data are unavailable, the proxy meteorological radar data being determined from a plurality of alternative meteorological data streams, each one of the alternative meteorological data streams comprising data representative of a value of a meteorological parameter that is not observable by radar and that is different from the meteorological parameters of the other alternative meteorological data streams; and determining, at the processor module, graphical meteorological radar data for the geographical region in response to the proxy meteorological radar data for the first area in the geographical region and meteorological radar data for a second area in the geographical region.
