Abstract :
This paper conducted some researches on 3D weather simulations on a 3D virtual earth GeoGlobe. The simulation area in this paper is ZuiYi city, GuiZhou province, China, and the simulated weather conditions are snow, rain and fog. This paper used Microsoft´s DirectX 3D Technology and particle system to achieve the simulation, and used a public weather API to gather the weather condition.
