The Weather Radar Product Synthetic Programming by VC++ & MATLAB

Generally there is only single computer language have been used in the atmospheric products programming, such as Fortran or C++. Most weather radar products have been developed by C++, and also part products programmed with MATLAB. It is more complex than using C++ when reading radar base data since the stronger C++ pointer. This paper studies the designing techniques and realizing methods of weather radar product developed synthetically by C++ and MATLAB so as to take advantage of both languages strongpoint, reducing the number of source code and improving the program efficiency. This paper researches the communicate between C++ and MATLAB ,which integrates with the structure of weather radar data, through a special C++ language structure "mxArray" introduced by MATLAB for the suitable radar data transferring as well as function operating. The radar products experiment shows that compared with just using C++ language, the number of the improved program code has been reduced drastically as well as the whole program has been more modularization. In addition, compared with only making use of C++ or MATLAB, this synthetic program is more flexible and running faster.
