Abstract

The Man-computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center (UW-SSEC) collects large quantities of meteorological data in real time for storage, analysis and display on multi-frame video terminals. Software is being developed on the McIDAS system which produces 3-D images from a variety of meteorological data for stereo display in short animation sequences. These animation sequences are produced in a few minutes. The user controls the space and time extents, contents and information density of the display.
