The Triton system for visualizing meteorological data is discussed. Triton supports visualization of satellite data showing weather development in the past, scalar data such as temperature, snow height, or ozone concentration, vector data such as wind direction and strength, data related to cloud formations, contextual information such as geographical data, and additional information. A television weather forecast must present a lot of this information in a very short time, possibly resulting in information overload. Triton uses intuitive visualization to help viewers understand the information
