THREE-DIMENSIONAL WEATHER DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS THAT PROVIDE REPLAY OPTIONS

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) weather display systems and methods are provided. The system receives real-time 3D weather data from a 3D weather radar system along with other sensor data external or internal and stores the received data in the memory buffer. The system is configured to receive spatial and temporal weather replay requests, and responsive to a weather replay request, extracts time-stamped 3D weather data from the memory buffer to construct a weather data loop that is a function of the weather replay request. The system generates display instructions to render the weather data loop, as a simultaneously and continuously replaying overlay, on the display of the real-time 3D weather data. A display device renders the weather data loop in accordance with the instructions.
