Abstract:

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, devices, and machine-readable media for 3D radar weather data rendering techniques. A computer-implemented method for 3D radar weather data rendering includes retrieving weather data from a weather radar. Gridded data is generated based on the weather data. The gridded data includes a uniform grid of cubes, where each of the cubes is associated with at least one weather parameter value of a plurality of weather parameter values corresponding to the weather data. A triangular mesh for a data grouping within the gridded data is extracted. An object file including vertices and faces associated with the triangular mesh is generated. The object file is communicated to a three-dimensional (3D) visualization system to present a 3D rendering of the object file.
