This presentation shows the role of weather informatics in addressing critical societal challenges by integrating meteorological science with advanced data analytics and user-centric geospatial visualization tools. Key innovations include high-resolution weather forecasting, radar and satellite data processing, and real-time sensor network integration with robust visualization platforms designed to meet operational demands.
At the core of this approach is the Weather Image Information System (WIIS), a weather informatics platform created to process, analyse, and share extensive volumes of meteorological image data. By integrating diverse data sources—including satellite systems, ground-based radars, and real-time sensor networks—WIIS generates high-resolution imagery, enabling precise monitoring of weather patterns. This system offers interactive geospatial maps, dynamic weather animations, and customizable overlays, facilitating detailed analysis of atmospheric phenomena and enhancing real-time situational awareness.
WIIS also provides advanced decision-support capabilities, allowing users to set customizable alert thresholds for severe weather events. These features enable proactive disaster preparedness, safeguard operational continuity, and support critical infrastructure in the energy and transport sectors.
