Abstract :
This paper carried out secondary development based on the World Wind three-dimensional Earth model, using the cloud image data from geostationary orbit meteorological satellite. The work designed and implemented the three-dimensional simulation of real-time global cloud coverage, and dynamically simulated the process of global cloud coverage change. Besides, statistical analysis of cloud coverage change history in the target regions was carried out.
