STK for Live Forecasted Weather Tony Faulds, President, Trinnovations
Introduction • Weather Sentinel – Version 1.0 • Visualize real-time, historical, and predicted weather data using STK and STK / Connect • Analyze weather data as it impacts: • Facilities • Ground Vehicles • Aircraft • Missiles • Satellites
Functionality • Uses STK/Connect • COM-enabled • Imports 2 types of weather data formats: • WSR-88D Level I • GRIB (GRIdded Binary data) • Handles 2 types of weather data: • Scalar data (e.g., temperature) • Vector data (e.g., wind velocity) • Visualization & Analyses • User-defined color scales and gradients
Features • 2D Visualization • 3D Visualization • Vehicle path visualization • Reports • Weather data management
2D Visualization Temperature 82° F 20° F
3D Visualization Wind Speed 0 mi/hr 60 mi/hr
Vehicle Path Visualization Visibility 0 m – 500 m 500 m – 3000 m 3000 m - 7000 m 7000+ m
Reports • Reporting features can be applied to vehicle paths and facilities, combining vehicle/facility properties with actual weather calculations. • Data can be reported: • in actual inches of precipitation or visibility in meters • at each point along the vehicle path OR at the facility site over time • Users can manipulate data using the following STK tools: • report tool • graph tool • dynamic display tool • strip chart
Ideas for Implementation • Mission planning (Military) • Aircraft, troops • Facility analysis • Cloud cover • Flight path play through • Show turbulence
Future Development • 3D Vector Analysis • Line-of-sight calculations • Clouds • Communications interference • Clouds • Rain • Weather effects on the force model • Wind
Conclusions • Weather Sentinel • Historical, current, and future analysis of weather • 4 methods to do analysis • 2D Visualization • 3D Visualization • Vehicle path visualization • Reports • Weather data management • Store/retrieve weather data
