MeteoInfo: GIS software for meteorological data visualization and analysis

Abstract

MeteoInfo is a suite of software tools which has been developed for meteorological data visualization and analysis. It includes a .NET class library for software developers and a desktop application for end users. MeteoInfo also supports several basic GIS functions and can read widely several used meteorological data formats such as NetCDF and GRIB. Complex meteorological analyses of grid and station data can be processed using provided data models. The class library can be conveniently used to develop software routines for manipulating spatial and meteorological data. The desktop application has a user friendly GUI and is a powerful tool to view and examine meteorological data sets. MeteoInfo can also be run automatically using scripting with the IronPython language. © 2012 Royal Meteorological Society.
