3D NEXRAD Radar

This is an experimental BETA project.

About This Product:

  • The Unity 3D Web Player is currently only available for Mac and Windows.
  • The 3D interface shows 3 iso-surfaces of radar dBZ (3D surfaces of equal radar echo/precipitation strength). These surfaces are 20 (green), 30 (yellow), and 50 (red) dBZ.
  • A standard 2D radar image covers the ground.
  • USGS terrain is drawn at 30 arc-second resolution to show topography
  • Place names are drawn in white text
  • Counties are drawn as black lines

Interface Controls:

The product employs a first person shooting (FPS) interface where the mouse controls direction of your eye, and the arrow keys or "wsad" keys control movement.

  • Note that you can "fly" as there is no gravity.
