Visualization of meteorological data

This paper is focused on the methods used to visualize meteorological factors based on the given data. Properties of the factors for which the data can be gathered were described and the methods of visualizing those properties have been examined. The program solution is centered around interaction with the weather data. The data itself is based on real measurements. It is possible to select an exact point in time for which the data exists, and that data is then visualized on a 3D model of a building, which allows the user to get an idea of the weather state. The model changes lighting, shadows, clouds, opacity and the rotation of a wind vane, based on the data. The data is also represented by graphs, which allow the user to track data changes over a period of time. Finally, since the solution uses large amount of data, a performance analysis was done to point out advantages and disadvantages of the visualization methods used.
