STORM

Client

Plan B Limited

Project description:

Storm was developed on behalf of Plan B Limited for use by the UK Environment Agency to collect and display weather radar rainfall frames.

Storm helps in the automatic detection of severe weather conditions: the user can quickly see a map or a table which is aggregated over any period to identify "hot-spots" of rainfall; also, visual alarms can be raised if rainfall in any location exceeds critical thresholds.

In addition Storm provides fast and convenient replay options, configurable zooms and maps.

Storm accepts data from single and multiple radar sites and a special satellite frame which allows data coverage ranging from single counties, to the whole UK and Europe-wide.  Storm also holds a Digital Terrain Map as an underlay, which helps relate land height to rainfall patterns.
