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 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.
A new version 1.5 is available, adding support for interactive Skew-T diagrams. Also, a binary archive is now available for download.
A new presentation about Met.3D has been given by Marc at the recent ECMWF workshop on observational campaigns for better weather forecasts.
Our survey article on "Visualization in Meteorology" is featured in the December 2018 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, also discussing Met.3D and related 3D software.
A presentation about the use of Met.3D at ECMWF given by Tim Hewson is available online.
