3DV-Cube

An innovative 3D Volumetric module for rendering and interactively displaying atmospheric data in its real three-dimensional and temporal environment.

About 3DV-Cube

What is 3DV-Cube?

The 3DV-Cube is an innovative version of the IES WebGIS platform for 3D Volumetric processing and rendering of weather information. It offers a unique set of multidimensional tools to analyse weather events in their real-life three-dimensional and temporal environment.

The 3DV-Cube allows users to render and interactively display, pan, zoom, rotate and pivot a selected column of 3D atmospheric information. Users can perform surface cross-sections and animations in time to appreciate local and varying weather situations at any location and altitude.

It is particularly powerful for analyzing volumetric atmospheric data from Numerical Weather Prediction models, radar networks and other 3D data sources, providing forecasters and meteorologists with tools that go far beyond traditional 2D map display.

3DV-Cube Features

Volumetric Rendering

Render and interactively display a selected column of 3D atmospheric information. Pan, zoom, rotate and pivot through volumetric weather data with ease.

Surface Cross-Sections

Perform surface cross-sections through any axis of the 3D data cube to reveal internal atmospheric structures and vertical profiles at any point.

Time Animation

Animate weather data through time in full 3D — appreciate how local and regional weather situations evolve across time within the volumetric environment.

Isosurfaces & Isolines

Render Numerical Weather Prediction model outputs in gridded point value or symbol, isolines and isosurfaces for precise quantitative analysis.

Quantitative Tools

Easy-to-use quantitative and information-retrieval tools to enhance qualitative visualizations with precise data values at any 3D location.
