| description | The most important functionality of the hail suppression information system
in Serbia is to enable timely and reliable detection of the formation of
hail-containing clouds. Improvement of this functionality can be achieved by
adequate visualization of air flow (wind) inside the cloud system. This was
the motivation for implementing a 2D steady vector field visualization
method, based on the streamlines method. The choice of this method is
dictated by the requirements for the given appliance: efficiency (a crucial
requirement in hail suppression systems), generality of use, an accurate and
easily understandable display. By implementing algorithms for streamlines
seeding strategy and streamlines points distance control, the infinite loop
problem that occurs due to the existence of field vortices is eliminated and
evenly spaced streamlines are obtained. For analyzing the influence of the
implemented method’s parameters on performance and image quality, a framework
for visualization is developed. The implemented method is successfully
applied for visualization of data obtained from meteorological radars. |
