A 3D visualization created with Met.3D appears on the front cover of the May 2018 issue of the "Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society". The image shows data from the article "Flow-Dependent Reliability: A Path to More Skillful Ensemble Forecasts" by Mark Rodwell et al. Thank you to Mark for this cooperation and to our student Florian Märkl for help with creating the image. For creation of the image, we used direct volume rendering functionality implemented by Florian in his Bachelor's thesis.
A new publication in Geoscientific Model Development uses Met.3D to investigate 3-D potential vorticity anomalies: https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/15/4447/2022/
A new version 1.7 is available, improving map projection support, and adding computation of relative humidity and colouring of trajectories by an auxiliary variable.
A new publication in Weather and Climate Dynamics uses Met.3D to investigate Marine Cold Air Outbreaks and Polar Lows in ERA-5 data: https://wcd.copernicus.org/articles/2/867/2021/wcd-2-867-2021.html
A new version 1.6 is available, adding a simple batch mode, improvements to the user interface, as well as a number of bugfixes.
A short newsletter article about our 3D weather forecasting session at the Cyclone Workshop 2019 has just appeared in the recently published ECMWF Newsletter Vol. 162. The article can be read online here, the full PDF of the Newsletter is available here.
